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
Introduction
2 April 1996
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.
