Page 118 1. 0 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The KIP Unified Windows Printer Driver (KUWPD) allows windows printing from Microsoft Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP Operating systems as well as 2003 Server based applications. The KIP Unified Windows Printer Driver is available for download from your local website and is also supplied with your Printer on the software CD.
Page 119 1.2 Option Screen - Overview Commencing from the top of the layout above, these are the main features on the KUWPD Name Feature / Function Output Format Selects the type of “language” for driver output Orientation Rotation of the page Scaling Allows scaling of an image to the page size if not supported in the application.
Page 120: Output Format
2. 0 Function Details 2.1 Output Format The KUWPD improves support for many Windows applications by providing dual output printer language capabilities. Selecting the Output Format in “Printing Preferences” or “Document Defaults” (NT4), before entering an application will select the proper output method.
Page 121: Media Type
2.2 Orientation There are two types or Orientation in the driver: Landscape and Portrait. Examples: Landscape Portrait Selection of the orientation should take into account the design or layout from within the application. If an incorrect orientation is selected the page size can be “rotated” incorrectly and image may be lost in the final printed output.
Page 122 This is a feature that is very important in wide format printing from CAD applications and MS Excel. This is a feature that is required in CAD applications where the image size may vary from one image to the next such as: 36” x 60” for the first document then 24” x 80” for the next.
Page 123 2.10 Header To easily recognize printed documents, text can be placed on the top of bottom of the print. The text header includes all the “Management” information as well as the file name. Text here Text here 2.11 Folder If an optional folding device is installed onto the printer, select fold to allow the printer to determine which fold table to apply to the document.
Page 124 Installation 3.1 Prerequisites Requirements at the Network Server or User Workstations a) The KIP Unified Windows Printer Driver (KUWPD) allows windows printing from Microsoft Windows NT4 / 2000 / XP Operating systems as well as 2003 Server based applications.

Page 140 1.0 Overview and Features The KIP AutoCAD HDI has been designed to quickly and effectively print to the KIP printer directly from the AutoCAD application under the Microsoft Windows operating system. The KIP driver functions under these versions of AutoCAD from AutoDesk: 2000 / 2000i / 2002 / 2004 / 2005 / 2006 The following two screens are general to AutoCAD and may not be detailed within this User Guide.
Page 141 Advanced features and functionality of this driver can work in tandem with KIP Request software for added power and flexibility, or as a stand-alone entity. Features when linked to KIP Request include stamping, folding, headers, advanced raster image controls, media type selections, real time printer status and job accounting right from within the AutoCAD application.
Page 142 2.0 Connection 2.1 Options There are two methods to print from the KIP HDI driver to the CX8036: 1) Windows Printer Port The Windows driver must be installed on the PC. This method spools images directly to the printer via the printer port. This is a very simple connection method with all available features and functions of the KIP HDI driver.
Page 143 3.0 Installation 1) Within AutoCAD, click on File, and then select Plotter Manager. 2) Under Plotter Manager double Click the Add-A-Plotter Wizard Icon. 3) The Wizard screen may start noting that AutoDesk has changed from the PCP and PC2 file formats to a PC3 file format and will offer another screen during the installation process to migrate your PCP and PC2 to PC3 files for use in the newer versions of AutoCAD.
Page 144 5) Identify your plotter / printer model. a)If KIP is in the list, simply select KIP from your list of manufacturers and click “Next.” b) If KIP is not in the list, click the “Have Disk” button and you will be able to browse for the plotter driver from your Software CD.
Page 145 9) Specifying the printer’s name. Since all the printers use the same driver, the user could set up a name for each device. We recommend you use the nomenclature of your machine to identify the printer’s name. Example: CX8036 10) To complete the installation, click the Finish button.
Page 146 4.0 Configuration 1) Click on File, and then Plotter Manager 2) Double-click on the .PC3 file of the printer to open the Plotter Configuration Editor. 3) Navigate to the “Device and Document Settings” tab 4.1 Media 1) Click the “+” sign next to “Media”. This will open up the Media Options and allows the selection of the Media Source (which is “Roll’) and Media Size.

Page 204 6.4 Printing DWF files DWF (Design Web Format™) files offer a simple, secure way to share design data from AutoDesk. Developed specifically for engineering design data, the DWF format is the best way to share 2D and 3D design information, because the file size is smaller and faster to transmit than either native design file formats or other alternatives.
Page 205 After clicking on “Submit Print Job”, a DWF settings window will appear. This will allow the user a) to print all pages in a multi-page .dwf file or only the desired pages. b) select to Print Colors in Black to change all of the lines/areas to print solid black and not gray.

Page 257 Connectivity - Appendix D KIP IPS - Technical Detail Version 1.1 Introduction The following document contains technical detail and description related to the networkability of KIP printers, functionality of KIP printers in various network typologies, and concepts relating to client-server printing architecture. This document is intended for an audience familiar with core networking fundamentals and concepts, and an understanding of general network typologies and practices.
Page 258 Industry Standard Terminology Network Interface Card (NIC): All KIP digital printers come equipped with an onboard Network Interface Card (NIC). The NIC houses a RJ-45 type connection that allows it to interface with other networking hardware via a patch cable. The onboard NIC is responsible for receiving, transmitting, encoding, and interpreting TCP/IP segments or packets present on a network.
Page 259 KIP Printer Network Components KIP printers have several network components (both hardware and software based) that allow for TCP/IP printing functionality. KIP0 Port (KIP0): All KIP digital printers are capable of communicating via a dedicated TCP port for printing, and client communications. The KIP0 port accepts data on TCP port 8421 and responds on the source port initiated by a client and/or server.
Page 260 that delivers print jobs from applications on a client computer to a print servers and/or hands off data to a port monitor for local or remote delivery. The KIP port monitor can operate in one of two modes depending on its network location: Server Mode and Controller Mode.
Page 261 • Native mode: Native mode refers to printable data generated by the KUWPD rendering engine. Data arriving in this format has been rendered by the KUWPD exclusively by coordination between the Microsoft GDI engine and the driver components of KUWPD. Most applications will use the Window Print Manager functions in coordination with a printer driver to generate printable data for the desired network printer.
