files. <strong>The</strong>y can include pen widths, raster density. <strong>The</strong>se can be selected from<br />

the Pen Table drop down list.<br />

Modify Pens<br />

vector plot files, pen table and screening information can be changed. Plot File Setup also allows<br />

borders, modification of halftone settings, dither patterns and more. <strong>The</strong> following is a list of the all the<br />

controls:<br />

Use Colors<br />

<strong>KIP</strong> <strong>PrintNET</strong><br />

Force Pens<br />

Allows editing pen widths and screening by pen number (with a range of Pen 0 to Pen 255.) of an HPGL<br />

/ HP-RTL file. This forces the settings in the <strong>KIP</strong> Pen Table to override the pen information originally<br />

embedded in the file.<br />

Line Width Compensation<br />

This allows addition and subtraction of pixels from the overall width of all vector lines.<br />

Vector Line Dither Pattern<br />

Users have 2 choices of vector line dither patterns. This will alter the appearance of vector grayscale in<br />

different ways.<br />

HP-RTL Photo Mode<br />

When a raster image has been embedded within a plot file, Raster Photo Mode should be used. Raster<br />

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 />

Line Merge<br />

This enables the user to merge lines of different shades. When not applied the layers within the plot file<br />

determine how lines merge on each other.<br />

Use Round End Capping<br />

This will set end capping on lines in vector files to round ends instead of what has been specified in the<br />

plot file’s Line Attribute command.<br />

Border<br />

This allows a border to be used in the file. A maximum border of five inches can be applied to each<br />

edge.<br />

<strong>KIP</strong> Fold Parameter Selection<br />

Fold settings can be created and applied directly to the job when a <strong>KIP</strong> Folder is<br />

Printer Configuration<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 />
