1. Introduction
The
Kodak Digital Science
Module for Adobe Photoshop Software and Kodak
Calibration Utility Software for Windows or Macintosh
(export module) allows you to print from within Adobe
Photoshop (Photoshop) using the
8650/8650 PS Color Printer (8650 color printer). This guide
assumes that you are an experienced computer user who
understands how to install software applications.
If you have questions about the 8650 color printer, the
retailer where you purchased the printer may be able to
answer them. You can visit the Kodak Web site at http://
www.Kodak.com.
To download the most recent export module, access the
Kodak Web site and use the path customer support,
software, drivers, dye sub printers.
The export module is a plug-in for Photoshop, an imaging
editing program. Since the export module runs from within
Photoshop, you can use Photoshop’s image processing
functions before you print.

The export module allows you to:
Scale an image
•
Reprint the last image sent to the printer
•
Print in landscape or portrait mode
•
Apply print sharpening
•
Specify printer tables to perform custom
•
color rendering
Select a variety of paper and transparency media
•
Specify XtraLife ribbon to protect prints
•
Center an image on the page
•
Create a mirror image

Introduction
Job Scheduling
The number of jobs that can be queued to the printer at
one time is dependent on the available memory in the
printer. If large image files are sent, fewer jobs can be
processed. Installing optional memory in the printer
increases the number of jobs that can be processed. This
is described in the
Color Printer, User’s Guide
The other factor impacting job scheduling is the printer’s
network configuration. When the printer is connected
through more than one port, the printer polls the ports in
a round robin method. The position of the ports in the list
will impact the order in which jobs are processed.
Kodak Digital Science 8650/8650 PS
.
Communication Channels
Your computer can print to the 8650 color printer through
a SCSI or parallel connection or through an Ethernet
connection if the optional Network Interface Card is
installed in the printer. Refer to the
8650/8650 PS Color Printer, User’s Guide
information about network connectivity.

you still have trouble, try reinstalling the export module.
5-2 September 1997
Appendix A: About Printer Tables
Printer tables are powerful tools for precisely adjusting the
print’s color and characteristics. The tables allow you to
obtain the closest possible match between a displayed
image and a print of that image. Kodak TableMaker
Software (TableMaker software), allows you to create new
tables or modify existing tables. TableMaker software only
works with RGB tables.
Additive and Subtractive Color
Displayed and printed images have different appearances
due to the nature of the processes used to produce the
colors on monitors and in prints.
A monitor uses an additive color process to produce a
screen image. Red, green, and blue light from the color
phosphors in the tube are added together to produce white
light. Various mixtures of the three colors produce a v ariety
of colors. A color printer uses a subtractive color process,
where ambient light passes through layers of color dyes
(cyan, magenta, yellow, and sometimes black), reflects off
a white paper base, and passes back through the color dye
layers to your eyes. The dyes produce color by absorbing
portions of the color spectrum from the light striking the
surface of the print. The perceived color of a print is also
strongly influenced by the type and intensity of the light in
which it is viewed.
September 1997 A-1
A color gamut is the range of visible colors that can be
produced by a specific set of primary colors (such as red,
blue, and green, or cyan, magenta, yellow, and black).
Monitors, scanners, and color prints also have different
color gamuts. Many different CRT phosphors and color
dyes are available, and each produces a different range of
colors. Phosphors generally produce a wider color gamut
than photographic printing dyes, particularly in the blue
and green regions. However, some printable colors cannot
be displayed on a typical monitor.
Appendix A: About Printer Tables
Standard T ables
Each printer table is named according to its correction
formula. There are 45 standard RGB tables and 25
standard CMYK tables. The standard printer tables
consist of combinations from one of the availab le gamma
correction values (1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8)
and one of the available black level values (-40, -30, -20,
-10, 0). For example, the printer table SG16BN30 has a
gamma correction value of 1.6 and a black level value
of -30.
The standard tables are all set for a hue shift of 0°, a
saturation level of 100%, and an automatic contrast
calculation.
The default table for the export module is gamma 2.0,
black le v el -20. Choosing a black le v el of -10 or 0 lightens
a print and helps to bring out details in and shadow
areas. A black level of -30 or -40 darkens a print.
Custom RGB Windows Tables
Four custom tables are included with the Windows
version of the export module.
SLINEAR.TBL—does not modify the digital color data it
receives from the application. It outputs the same values
it receives, which allows y ou to use calibrated digital color
data directly from a color calibration program.
SLEMON.TBL—includes a color matrix that modifies the
yellow digital image data it receives. These modified
values produce a lighter shade of yellow, which is better
suited for graphic arts applications.
SPHOTOCD.TBL—obtains maximum image quality from
Photo CD images that were opened using the RGB video
metric.
SDEF AUL T.TBL—uses the same correction values as
the XLS Default selection and the SG20BN20.TBL printer
table.
A-2 September 1997
Appendix A: About Printer Tables
Custom RGB Macintosh Tables
Four custom tables are included with the Macintosh
version of the export module. They are stored in a folder
named Custom Tables.
XLS Linear T ab le—does not modify the digital color data
it receives from the application. It prints the same values
that it receives. This allows you to
output an image’s calibrated digital color data from
another color calibration program.
XLS Graphic Arts Y ello w Table—includes a color matrix
that modifies the yellow digital image data it receives.
These modified values produce a lighter shade of yello w,
which is better suited for graphic arts applications.
XLS Photo CD Table—obtains maximum image quality
from Photo CD images that were opened
using a video metric.
XLS PostScript Level 1 Table—achieves
equivalent to the KODAK DS 8650 PS P ostScript Level 1
color rendering path.
Custom CMYK Table
A custom PostScript Level 1 table is provided for
simulating a PostScript Level 1 response.
CMYK PostScript level 1 Table—for Macintosh.
KLEVEL1.TBL—for PC.
Creating New Printer Tables
The printer tables supplied with the export module should
be sufficient for most of your printing needs. However, if
you have a special printing requirement that cannot be
met by an existing printer table, you can order Kodak

Appendix C: About SCSI Connection
A SCSI terminator is included with the printer. You must
obtain the proper cabling required for your configuration
and system from your printer retailer or distributor.
The two SCSI connectors on the back of the printer are
female submini, 50-pin SCSI II connectors.
Windows Systems
To connect the 8650 Color Printer directly to your computer
(or to daisy-chain the printer through an external SCSI
device), perform the following steps.
1. Set the SCSI device number using the printer’s
display panel.
The printer is set at the factory for SCSI ID 5. If you
need to change the SCSI ID, refer to the
Science 8650/8650 PS Color Printer User’s Guide
instructions about setting the SCSI device number.
Kodak Digital
for
2. Turn off all equipment before connecting or
disconnecting any equipment from the SCSI bus.
3. Install the SCSI host adapter board in the computer.
4. Attach a SCSI cable appropriate to your equipment’s
configuration.
If you are connecting the cable directly to the PC, use
