1. Introduction

The

Kodak Digital Science

8650 Color Printer Export

Module for Adobe Photoshop Software and Kodak

Calibration Utility Software for Windows or Macintosh

(export module) allows you to print from within Adobe

Photoshop (Photoshop) using the

Kodak Digital Science

8650/8650 PS Color Printer (8650 color printer).This guide

assumes that you are an experienced computer user who

understands how to install software applications.

If you have questions about the 8650 color printer, the

retailer where you purchased the printer may be able to

answer them.You can visit the Kodak Web site at http://

www.Kodak.com.

To download the most recent export module, access the

Kodak Web site and use the path customer support,

software, drivers, dye sub printers.

The export module is a plug-in for Photoshop, an imaging

editing program.Since the export module runs from within

Photoshop, you can use Photoshop’s image processing

functions before you print.

The export module allows 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 paper and transparency media

•

Specify XtraLife ribbon to protect prints

•

Center an image on the page

•

Create a mirror image

Introduction

1–2 September 1997

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.This

is described in the

Kodak Digital Science 8650/8650 PS

Color Printer, User’s Guide

The other factor impacting job scheduling is the printer’s

network conﬁguration.When the printer is connected

through more than one port, the printer polls the ports in

a round robin method.The position of the ports in the list

will impact the order in which jobs are processed.

Communication Channels

Your computer can print to the 8650 color printer through

a SCSI or parallel connection or through an Ethernet

connection if the optional Network Interface Card is

installed in the printer. Refer to the

Kodak Digital Science

8650/8650 PS Color Printer, User’s Guide

for more

information about network connectivity.
