Introduction

This manual describes how to use the Kodak XLS 8600 and XLS 8600 PS Printer Export Module for ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software and MACINTOSH computers, and the Kodak XLS 8600 and XLS 8600 PS Printer Export Module for ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software and MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.1. Each of these packages will be referred to as the Export Module. The Export Modules allow you to print from within Photoshop using the XLS 8600/XLS 8600 PS Printer running in raster mode. Since the Export Modules actually run from within Photoshop, you can use all Photoshop image processing functions before you print.

The Export Modules allow 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 sizes and types of paper and transparency material

•

Specify XtraLife ribbon to protect prints

•

Center an image on the page

•

Create a mirror image

April 1996 1

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, and is described in the KODAK XLS 8600 Printer and XLS 8600 PS Printer, User’s Guide.

The other factor that impacts job scheduling is the network conﬁguration impact on job scheduling in which the printer is installed. When the printer is connected through more than one port, the printer polls the ports in a round robin method. This means that once a job is received by the printer, it stops polling the ports until the job has ﬁnished printing. The printer then looks to the next port in the list. The position of the ports in the list will impact the order in which jobs are processed. Simple timing of when jobs are sent is not the only determinant of when jobs will be processed and printed.

Communication Channels

Your computer can print to the XLS 8600/XLS 8600 PS Printer through SCSI connection or parallel connection, or through Ethernet connection if the optional Network Interface Card is installed on the printer. Refer to the KODAK XLS 8600 Printer and XLS 8600 PS Printer, User’s Guide for more information about network connectivity.

Increasing Image Sharpness

•

To gain more control over image sharpness, turn sharpening off in the Export Module and use one of Photoshop’s sharpening ﬁlters instead.

Section I

—This list box allows y ou to specify the material on which the job will be printed. Select “Paper” if y ou want to print on paper. Select “Transparency” if you want to print on transparency material. The default is “Paper.”

NOTE: If the wrong material is loaded in the printer after

the job has been received and processed, the printer will display a message requesting that the correct media be loaded.

If Size is set to “9.5 x 14 in (241 x 358mm)”, “Transparency” will be grayed out and cannot be selected, because transparency media is not available in this size.

Use XtraLife

—This check box allo ws y ou to specify that prints should have XtraLife lamination applied, which increases shelf life and protects prints from ﬁngerprints. XtraLife ribbon must be loaded in the printer in order for this option to work.

NOTE: If the Size list box is set to “8.5 x 14 in,” “9.5 x 14

in (241 x 358mm),” or “210 x 358mm” and this check box is selected, a media mismatch will occur on the printer, since XtraLife ribbon is not available for these sizes.

Copies

The Copies box allows you to specify the number of times that you want the job to be printed. Up to 999 copies can be printed at a time. The default is “1.”

Reprint

—this check box allows you to print the speciﬁed number of copies of the last image that was sent to the printer. The last image sent to the printer remains in the buffer until the printer is shut off, the computer is restarted, the next image is sent, or the SCSI bus is reset. If no image is stored, an error will be generated.

When this check box is selected, the Size and Print options in the Media group box, and all the options in the Printed Size, Lay out, and Image Processing group boxes will be grayed out and cannot be selected.

Printed Size

April 1996 I-9

The Printed Size group box allows you to choose the following image size options.

Section I

Scale to:

—this check box indicates whether page images should be scaled. When the check box is selected, the Fit Page and Fill Page buttons become active so that you can select a scaling method.

Fit Page

—If this button is selected, an image that is larger or smaller than the size of the current media will be resized to just fit the page without cropping or distorting the image. This button is active only when the Scale to: check box is selected.

Fill Page

—If this button is selected, an image that is larger or smaller than the size of the current media will be cropped in order to completely fill the page. This button is active only when the Scale to: check box is selected.

Scaling

—this text entry box indicates the percentage that images will be sized. The range that can be speciﬁed is from 1% to 999%.The percentage speciﬁed in this box is applied to the image based on whether the By Size or By Pixels button is selected. The Scaling box is set to “100” by default.

By Size (in. cm.)

—If this button is selected, scaling will be based on the width and height of your image. For example, scaling an 8 x 10I image b y 50% will print a 4 x 5I image.

This button is active only when the Scale to: check box is deselected.

By Pixels

—If this button is selected, scaling will be based on the number of pixels in the width and height of the image. For example, scaling an 800 x 1000 pixel image by 200% will print a 1600 x 2000 pixel image. When scaling using this method, remember that the XLS 8600/XLS 8600 PS Printer prints 300 pixels per inch. If the image resolution is less than 300 pixels per inch, the printed image will be smaller. If the image resolution is greater than 300 pixels per inch, the printed image will be larger.

I-10 April 1996

Section I

This button is active only when the Scale to: check box is deselected.

NOTE: You can use Photoshop’s Image Size option from

Other Error Messages

II-24 April 1996

Appendix A: About Printer Tables

Printer tables are powerful tools for precisely adjusting the colors”, in prints. The tables allow you to obtain the closest possible match between a displa yed image and a print of that image. KODAK TableMaker Software”, allo ws you to create new tables or modify existing tables.

Printer tables can be used to change print characteristics, such as making images lighter or darker.

Additive and Subtractive Color

Displayed images 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’s 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 variety 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.

April 1996 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. The standard 45 printer tables consist of all combinations of one of the available 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.

Custom Windows T ab les

Four custom tables are included with the Windows version of the Export Module.
