  • Operating Instructions
    -------------------------------------------------------------- Readme for RW-480 PLOTBASE April 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------- This document provides complementary or latest information to supplement the RW-480 PLOTBASE and RW-480 Clients documentation. Anti-Virus Software Since this product RW-480 is designed to work in a network, we recommend to use current virus protection software! The setup of RW-480 PLOTBASE tunes your system and installs necessary drivers, which might confuse some anti-virus software. Therefore we recommend to stop the anti-virus software temporarily during installation. RW-480 WINPRINT a. Effect: Pen settings on WINPRINT HPGL-file take no effect. Reason: WINPRINT uses HPGL data as internal data format. Workaround: User must not and need not change any data on WINPRINT internal data. Do not change internal data format. b. Effect: Unexpected character in WINPRINT Dialog of Color Adjustment. Character “@” should be character “x”. Reason: RW-480 PLOTBASE is using DLL for this dialog that comes with OS. Many other drivers from other manufactures have same problem because this is related to OS. c. Effect: Save button in WINPRINT -> ADVANCED -> Halftone Color Adjustment -> Properties does not work as expected: Reason: At this dialog a BITMAP is saved, not the settings itself. Behaviour of WINPRINT is as same as printer driver from other manufacture. d. Effect: Default button in RW-480 WINPRINT -> ADVANCED -> Halftone Color Adjustment -> Properties Does not work. Reason: Button only applies to R/G/B values, does not apply to other items of this page. e. Effect: An image data of Word or Excel is printed as a blank paper from Windows 9x. Reason: Microsoft WINDOWS(c) UNIDRV.DLL has problem when certain part of image is “out of sight” (= out of printable area).

  • Laser Printer - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Laser printer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en. rvi kipedia.org/r,vi ki/Laser_pri nter Laser printer From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A laser printer is a common type of computer printer that rapidly produces high quality text and graphics on plain paper. As with digital photocopiers and multifunction printers (MFPs), Iaser printers employ a xerographic printing process but differ from analog photocopiers in that the image is produced by the direct scanning of a laser beam across the printer's photoreceptor. Overview A laser beam projects an image of the page to be printed onto an electrically charged rotating drum coated with selenium. Photoconductivity removes charge from the areas exposed to light. Dry ink (toner) particles are then electrostatically picked up by the drum's charged areas. The drum then prints the image onto paper by direct contact and heat, which fuses the ink to the paper. HP I-aserJet 4200 series printer Laser printers have many significant advantages over other types of printers. Unlike impact printers, laser printer speed can vary widely, and depends on many factors, including the graphic intensity of the job being processed. The fastest models can print over 200 monochrome pages per minute (12,000 pages per hour). The fastest color laser printers can print over 100 pages per minute (6000 pages per hour). Very high-speed laser printers are used for mass mailings of personalized documents, such as credit card or utility bills, and are competing with lithography in some commercial applications. The cost of this technology depends on a combination of factors, including the cost of paper, toner, and infrequent HP LaserJet printer drum replacement, as well as the replacement of other 1200 consumables such as the fuser assembly and transfer assembly.

This new platform has changed the way that IT administrators view and manage enterprise print drivers. Our core driver platform (the key component of this new strategy), helps make you more productive by streamlining the user interface and ensuring a consistent experience across the majority of our product lines. This consistency has greatly simplified print services delivery and reduced end-user training and support requirements, and lowered the cost of IT print services as a result. Two of the most innovative print drivers built on the new platform, the Xerox Global Print Driver and Xerox Mobile Express Driver, have been upgraded: Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD) is a universal print driver that offers unprecedented ease of use for network administrators managing a diverse array of print devices across the enterprise. It greatly reduces the time and effort required to deploy and upgrade print drivers on a network.

  • Printers and Printing
    Chapter 13 Printers and Printing Printing seems like one those constants of the computer world that should be so simple as to require next to no thought. Of course, you need to print things. Paper output is a part of doing business. Why, then, does printing continue to confound? Over the years, I have seen and read many different estimates regarding system administrators and printers. In particular, I’m interested in the question of how much time the average administrator devotes to this sim- ple thing. One figure (which had a fairly strong argument backing it up) put printer administration at around 25 percent of a system administrator’s time. Granted, this information goes back a few years, but I haven’t seen much since then to convince me that this figure has changed. This chapter examines how printing works and what processes are involved at the system level. I want you to walk away with an understanding, not of graphical printer admin tools, but of printing’s dirty underbelly. On the subject of tools, I’ll also explore some of the alternative tools that are available to make the whole printing experience just that much easier to deal with. The beauty of working with Linux is that you don’t have to do things the way they are defined right out of the box. Many other options exist. Armed with the nuts and bolts of printers and printing, you should be able to print just about any type of document to just about any type of printer. Selecting Printers for Linux (and a Note about “WinPrinters”) Beware.
