Overview

Welcome to the on-line manual for the Kodak Professional 8650/8660

raster driver for Windows 95/98. You can use this printer driver with the

Kodak Professional 8660 thermal printer (8660 printer) and the Kodak

Digital Science

8650 color printer (8650 printer). The printer driver

provides access to the printers’ features through the raster path.

Previously, you could only use the export module to send Photoshop jobs

to the printers. With this printer driver, you can send jobs to the printers

from most applications.

About the Printer Driver

The printer driver is software that allows the software applications you

use to access the printer’s features. For example, your application

determines the page breaks, font selection, and page setup for your print

job. The printer driver translates this information into a printer language

such as Adobe PostScript or Kodak raster language and sends the job to

the printer. The printer driver’s graphical user interface gives you access

to additional printing options that are not available from your software

application.

You can access the features for the printer driver from the print and page

setup commands in the application you are using. You can also access

the features from the Start menu using the Settings>Printers command.

Features of the Printer Driver

The printer driver gives you the following printing options that are not

available directly from your software application:

Print Preview

The printer driver’s interface includes a preview window that displays a

proportional model of the last image you sent to the printer. The image in

the preview window changes as you change the settings for features such

as package printing or custom color adjustments.

Adding a Logo

You can add a logo of your choice to your document page and adjust its

placement on the page.

Package Printing

Package printing was previously available only through the export module

for the 8660 printer and is now available to both printers through the

printer driver. With package printing, you send a single document page to

the printer and get multiple sizes on your print. You can select from

several preformatted packages.

Color Management

The printer driver lets you choose how to manage the color in your

document pages. You can make prints using the printer’s default color and

then adjust the color settings in the Advanced Color dialog box. You can

also use the Kodak ColorFlow color connector software to apply color

Using Package Printing

With package printing, you send a single

document page to the printer and you get

multiple document page sizes on your print.

For example, by selecting the package 5x7

in. and 3.5x5 in. and Wallets, your copy

contains one 5x7 in. print, one or more 3.5x5

in. prints, and a number of wallet size prints

(depending upon the paper size selected) on

a single page.

NOTE: The print sizes may not be exact

because of the height-to-width ratio

of the document page. To fill the

entire print area, you may need to

resize the document page to match

the package’s largest document

page size in an application such as

Adobe Photoshop.

You can select from several preformatted packages. For information on

how to use preformatted packages refer to “Using Preformatted

Packages.” For more information about these options, refer to “Option

Descriptions.”

Using Preformatted Packages

For best results, make sure that the document page you wish to print in

package format is the same size as the largest document page in the

package. For example, if you select the package “5 x 7 in. and 3.5 x 5 in.

and Wallets,” your original document page should be 5 x 7 in.

If necessary, resize the document page in an application such as Adobe

Photoshop before printing.
