This is the best thing that KIP can do with the Windows driver. It is supposed to reside on a network
containing a KIP printer.
For the best results, use the HP650c driver, which allows printing to file.
Problems printing raster images with a XES Synergix 8830 plotter.
In the properties dialog for the XES Synergix 8830, under the Graphics tab, there is a check box for Enable
RTL native mode resolution. Clear the check box, and the raster images should print correctly.
How do I plot to Reprodesk?
If the PRN file has been changed to a PLT file and the processing of the file still produces a black screen,
once the file has been sent to Reprodesk change the pen setting from standard (the default) to asinfile pen.
When I print to CalComp TechJET 720C, using the Windows raster driver, output is elongated in the X-axis
(top-to-bottom).
If the plotter has a monochrome cartridge installed, but the Windows raster driver is configured for color
mapping, the output will be elongated in the X-axis (top-to-bottom) direction. The y-axis (left-to-right)
direction will not be affected.
To fix the problem, the driver settings should match the type of cartridge being used.
If you are running Windows NT 4.0, perform the following:
1 Click Start
➤
Settings
➤
Printers.
2 Select the TechJET 720c 56xx driver.
3 Click File menu
➤
Document Defaults.
4 Click the Advanced tab.
5 Scroll down to Graphic and expand the group.
6 Click on Color Appearance. The options appear in the lower portion of the window. Select Gray
Scale or Color.
7 Scroll down to Document Options and expand it.
8 Scroll down to Printer Features and expand it.
9 Click on ColorModel. The options appear at the lower portion of the window. Select one of the
following: BLACK, GRAY, or COLOR.
Other Plotting Considerations
Always use a color cartridge in the plotter when the Windows driver is set to use color mapping.
Use a monochrome cartridge in the plotter when the Windows driver is set to use either grayscale or black
mapping. (A color cartridge may be used, but only the black ink will be used).
System Issues
Revit Architecture (and sometimes the computer) lock up when printing multiple sheets to file on an OCE
9300 Windows raster driver (2.5.1) on Windows 2000, but it may apply to others drivers and OSs as well.
This is an OCE bug. When printing multiple sheets to file, and separating the sheet names with a comma
(,), Revit Architecture or the computer may hang.
The solution is to separate the sheet names with a dash or a space, rather than a comma.
