The

Printing Guide

explains how to use the printing software that is

shipped with your Kodak Professional 8660 thermal printer (8660 printer).

This guide assumes that you are an experienced computer user who

understands how to install programs and that you are familiar with printing

software and how it works.

The printing software for the 8660 printer consists of the export module, a

plug-in for Adobe Photoshop. Use the export module within Photoshop to

send a job to the 8660 printer. The export module allows you to:

•

scale an image.

•

reprint the last image sent to the 8660 printer.

•

print in landscape or portrait mode.

•

print in package mode.

•

apply print sharpening.

•

use Colorﬂow connector ﬁles to perform custom color rendering or

printer tables for an improved match to your monitor.

•

center an image on the page.

•

create a mirror image.

Since the export module runs within Photoshop, you can use Photoshop’s

image processing functions before you print. The export module is

compatible with Photoshop 4.0 and higher.

Using Package Printing

With package printing, you send a single

image to the 8660 printer and get multiple

image sizes on your print. For example, by

selecting the package 5x7 in. and 3.5x5 in.

and Wallets your copy will contain one

5 in.x7in. print, one or more 3.5x5 in. print,

and a number of wallet size prints (depending

on the paper size selected) on a single

printed page.

The print sizes may not be exact because of

the height-to-width ratio of the images. To ﬁll

the entire print area, you may need to resize

the image in Photoshop before printing.

You can select from several preformatted

packages, or you can create your own

custom packages. For information on how to use the preformatted

packages, refer to “Using Preformatted Packages.”For information on how

to set up a custom package, refer to “Using Custom Packages.”

When you select a printing package, the 8660 printer automatically sets

the Scaling, Center, Mirror, and Orientation options. For more information

on these options, refer to “Dialog Box Options.”
