• Refresh Status – Manually refreshes the status of
the printer.
• Mode:
KIP Script Output Format
KIPScript (emulates Postscript output) when printing from
applications that function best when outputting Postscript
data. For example: Adobe Acrobat functions best when
using Postscript output. Other graphics applications
including Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft PowerPoint and
Excel work well with KIPScript output.
KIP GL Output Format
KIPGL (emulates HP-RTL) when printing from CAD
applications that may not have a pre-built compatible
driver. The KIPGL output can be further enhanced by
making changes to the pen table on the KIP via KIP
PrintNET. Features like line width compensation and RTL
dither allow users to achieve exceptional quality when
using the KIPGL output format.
• Job Separator – Job Separator prints after the entire
job has finished
• Set Separator - Set Separator prints after each set
has finished

When the Maintain Driver Preferences box is checked (turned ON); the document to be
printed will utilize the printing preferences set from the application being used which will then
become the default for this application and other applications as well.

This function has benefits for applications that may utilize batch printing such as:
• Autodesk Revit
• Adobe
• Photoshop
• Microstation

Example of Functionality:
With Maintain Driver Preferences Disabled (turned OFF)
The KIP Window Driver was installed and the default settings were set to the following …

With Maintain Driver Preferences Enabled (turned ON)

The print options in Adobe will now reflect the settings set during the last instance of printing.
In this case the last page size in the Adobe application was set to 18X24.

By going to the installed printers (Windows 7 Icon\Devices and printers) printing preferences
you can verify the new default settings. The new default settings are now set to the
following…

• Paper Size set to 18x24in.

• Orientation set to Portrait.

With the Maintain Driver Preferences turned ON, the change made in the application has
become the new global default for the driver.

Disable Postscript Passthrough

Disable Postscript Passthrough”, when Disabled (Default) allows
applications capable of rendering their own postscript to be honored
by the driver.

"Disable Postscript Passthrough", when Enabled, forces the Windows

Driver to render PostScript data directly, preventing capable
application(s) from generating its own Postscript data. Some
programs, such as Corel Draw, Word, Excel, etc. can render
Postscript data natively which may cause conflict in certain situations.

NOTE
The KIP PDF option is required for printing KIPScript data. Please contact your local KIP dealer for
details.

NOTE
Certain applications work better depending on the Output Format.

• Applications using heavy raster or photographic data work best with KIPScript type output.
Examples: Adobe Acrobat products, Adobe Illustrator Products, Adobe Photoshop Products and
Corel Draw based products.

• Microsoft applications generally work well with either output format. Examples: Microsoft Word,
Excel, Project.

Appendix 3
Using Role Based Access Control (RBAC) with the KIP Windows Driver
If the RBAC is being used to create specific roles for individual users these roles will apply when printing from
the KIP System K Windows Driver (SYSKWPD) as well.

There are two main Roles that can be applied to the SYSKWPD, Color User and B&W User. If a role is created
(using the KIP Accounting Center application) and is then assigned to a user’s login they will only have these
abilities when printing from SYSKWPD. The bellow screen shots show what happens if the user does not have
the rights to print in either B&W or Color.

Black & White Only User – This user only has the ability to print with B&W output. When the wants to print they
will be prompted to enter the required data. Ore if they want to go to Printing Preferences they will be
prompted for required. Here all three fields are required:

Once logged in they will be able to make the necessary changes prior to sending their file to the KIP Printer.
The user “Tony” is a B&W only user. When logged in only BlackWhite and Gray are available selections.

Appendix 4
Setup Local/Shared Templates for use in the KIP Windows Driver
The KIP Windows Driver has the ability to create templates that can be used at a later time.

When creating a template, the user will have the choice of saving the template in one of two ways:

1. Locally – the template created will be saved to the local workstation and will only be available for use
from that workstation.

2. Shared - the template created is shared to all clients connected to a shared instance of the Printer.

Note: The ability to save/delete shared templates is dependent upon the NTFS security permission
‘Manage this printer’ assigned for the user(s)/group(s) against the shared printer object.

To create a Local Template, follow these steps:

Step Action Illustration

1. Open Devices and Printers, Right click

4 - Installing driver on physical PC and having printers auto-populate on virtual

desktop
The printers that are installed on a PC/Server hosting a virtual desktop session can be auto-populated on the
virtual machine. For example, I am using a notebook running Windows 7 x64 to host a Windows 10 x64 virtual
desktop. All or some of the printers installed on the host will automatically populate in the devices and printers
of the virtual desktop depending on the policy settings in Citrix Studio. By default, the policy is set to auto-
populate ALL printers, but this can be changed by the System Admin.

To check or change these settings, launch the Citrix Studio on the controller running XenServer.

Select Policies, then Edit Policy…
