Photo Mode can be applied to all drawings, whether they contain raster images or not.<br />
HP-RTL Photo Mode Dither<br />
Users have 3 choices of raster dither output patterns. <strong>The</strong>re is no ‘correct’ setting. Set according to user<br />
preference.<br />
HP-RTL Raster Density<br />
This slide bar will modify the density level of the embedded raster image. <strong>The</strong> scale range is from 0-200.<br />
<strong>The</strong> higher the number on the scale, the darker the image will be. A density level can also be keyed into<br />
the text field.<br />
Clip to Image Size<br />
This crops the file data to the start of image data. Apply when the file designer has saved the entire<br />
drawing area as part of the file. If an error “File Too Large to Print,” occurs, clipping to Image Size is often<br />
the solution.<br />

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

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

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