Multiple KIP Printers
If multiple printers are available and have been added (See KIP Printer in Administration section) a
menu will pop up allowing the user to choose from the available printers to dispatch the job.
This can be useful if KIP Printers are in different
locations on the same network for load sharing.

Printer Configuration
Basic Configuration
Basic Configuration enables administrators, key operators and service personnel to configure
parameters for the KIP printer.
Printer Name: Type a descriptive name for the KIP device. Useful if more than one of the same KIP
printer exists in the facility.
Copy Density Value: Configures the density of the printer toner output from Dark to Light. Density
settings may be set from the IPS touch screen in the Configuration menu.
Output Rotation: Rotate for faster printing ensures that the printed output is sent to the widest roll
available (long edge first). Rotate for Least Paper Usage calculates the percentage of paper to be
used and will output to the roll with the least amount of paper waste.
Historical Queue: Configure the amount of physical hard drive space is to be allocated to store jobs
that have been printed. Values are from 0-25 GB. Users may recall previously printed jobs using KIP
PrintNET, KIP Request and the KIP Touch Screen interface (if enabled).
Reprint: Configure the behavior of the IPS if a jam occurs. Reprint Jam (in or mm) calculates the number
of images to reprint based on the value set. (e.g. If 48 inches is set and a user is printing 36x48 sheets,
the printer would reprint 1 image based on this setting). Reprint Jam Copies will automatically reprint a
specified number of images. Jam Reprint Prompt when enabled, prompts the user at the touch screen
the number of copies to reprint.
Print Setting: Configure behavior of paper selection handling. Closest prints the output image to the
closest fitting roll. Image may be rotated automatically to fit. Center prints the output image to the

closest fitting roll, but centers the image to the roll. Exact requires the exact roll installed for the output
width.
Wire Cleaning
Amount of output in linear meters between wire cleaning intervals.
Advanced Configuration
In the Advanced section of the Printer Configuration screen Administrators can further manipulate the
Internal IPS settings. With the settings available in this section Specific Deck info can be set, specific
Media can be set and miscellaneous other settings regarding the way printed files will come out.
Print Separator Sheets: Configure job or set separator sheets to be printed. Separator sheets contain
information regarding current print job such as Job Number, Requester, Images printed (file names),
output total (sq. ft / sq. m.).
Deck Info: Override the installed media per roll deck. Auto is defaulted and will display to the user the
selected media from the IPS touch screen.
Monochrome PDF Proces sing: Select output dither mode based on image type (line, line/photo, mixed,
etc). Min Feature Size ensures that the finest detail can be output to the KIP printer.

Other:
• Min Cut Length – instructs the printer to cut paper at no less than this length (in or mm)
• Max Image Length – instructs the printer to cut paper to no more than this length (ft or m)
• Image Width Removal (pixels) – Image width tolerance adjustment used for documents that
may be over 36”x36”. (e.g . image data is 36.5” x 36.5”, this is too large to print to the KIP. Value
set to 600 (600 pixels = 1 inch) would “ignore” any image data past 36”).
• Lead Edge Void (pixels) – amount of “white space” to add to the printed output. (600 pixels = 1
inch)
• Delay Between Sets (seconds) – Amount of time to pause the print queue between sets.
• JIS Tolerance (in) – Images sent to the IPS without a KIP Job Ticket (FTP/LPR) will be printed to
exact JIS sizes.
• Ignore Job Tim e – Unchecked verifies the time specified in the job ticket prior to printing. Used to
schedule print jobs for a later date/time.
• Hold Paper After Print – When Selected the printer will hold the paper in the ready position for 13
seconds.
• Preload Paper – When selected this will load the paper to the ready position for the next print.
• Ignore HDI Borders – When selected this will ignore borders that may be in by default within the
HDI (AC) driver.
• Enable Abacus – If available when selected this will enable the use of Abacus software.
Monochrome HPGL Processing:
• HPGL Min Line weight – Minimum line thickness that may be printed. If line specified is thinner
than configured setting, line thickness will be increased.
• HPGL Min Grayscale – Minimum shade of gray that may be printed. If fill area shade is less than
specified configured setting, shading will be “darkened”.
Uploads:
• IPS Installed Fonts – Displays fonts that are currently installed on the IPS.

Image Quality
Image Quality allows the Administrator to select from the various
selections and choose the best output for the file being printed.
Grey Composing
Grey Composing allows the Administrator to determine how the
color black will be made.
Black – Uses black toner only
CMYK – processed black using CMYK to make the color black
Dithering Mode
Dithering Mode allows the Administrator to set the desired dithering
method for the type of files being printed.
Clustered Lines – Ordered Line Pattern
Clustered Circles – Ordered Circle Pattern

Color Trapping
When one color totally surrounds another, they must have
either a choke or spread relationship. The examples below
illustrate applications of choking and spreading. Notice that
when a dominant color is surrounded by a submissive color,
the dominant color chokes the submissive color (it draws the
submissive color underneath its edges). Conversely, when a
submissive color is surrounded by a dominant color, it spreads into
the dominant color (bottom example, below).
Enable Color Management
This feature is predominantly used for Graphical printing.
Note: when printing a color line drawing, Color Management
is generally not used.
Enable Color Filtering
Allows the user to apply image quality filters that will affect and
modify the ICC profile that has been set. These filters are
created within the KIP RIP software (see the KIP RIP manual for
further information).

Enable Fine Line Control
Enable Line Enhancement for CAD images that contain fine line image detail. When used on Graphic
images, this feature can smooth text and long or curved edges. When enabled, grayscale lines will be
dithered with Rainbow Standard while image fill areas retain clustered dither patterns. The amount of
dithering depends on Sensitivity for Edge Detection and Edge Thickness. Sensitivity for Edge Detection
controls the amount of Rainbow Standard dithering from 0 to 100%. At 100%, the image data will use
Rainbow Standard as the dithering pattern. At 0%, Cluster dithering will occur on the entire image data.
Dithering begins from the outside edges of the line inwards and is controlled by Edge Thickness. This is a
setting from 0.0 in to .039 inches or roughly 3 pixels on each edge of the line. Suggested settings:
Intensity 88, Edge Threshold 1.
Enhance Black Text
The option to turn on or off “Enhance Black Text”
gives the user the ability to enhance otherwise
light or faded text. When the option is on, CMYK
text and graphics defined as black (C=M=Y=0,
K=100) are printed with black toner only, at the
maximum toner density of the print device.
Note: this is only for CMYK image data, RGB will not be affected.
