Introduction
The Windows driver (also called KUWPD) allows Users to print from Windows Operating System based
applications. By design, the driver supports faster spooling and advanced printing features including
standard and reverse print collation, supports automated accounting for job tracking purposes and
applying digital stamps on printed documents. Standard (ANSI, ARCH, ISO) paper sizes and Media type
selection is available within the driver.

Printing Preferences – Overview
Windows Driver for version 7.2 software has been redesigned allowing users to quickly identify features
and functions to be adjusted at print times. These functions are categorized along the top of the driver
using tabs.
Tab Name Features / Functions
Paper / Scaling Control paper size, orientation scaling, media source and alignment
Copies / Output Number of copies, collation, page order, mirror or invert
Stamping Add digital stamps, headers or job / set separators
Printer Options Control folding, output format and stacking (4820/9148/8148 only)
Accounting Input Username, Job number or description where required
Printer Status View IP address, version number, consumables, meters and install Request
Management Allows accounting to be used from windows applications.

Paper / Scaling
Paper Size
Select the output page size. Please note that the printer may have a roll installed that may be larger
than the selection.
This feature is very important in wide format printing from CAD applications and MS Excel. This is a
feature that is required in CAD applications where the image size may vary from one image to the next
such as: 36” x 60” for the first document then 24” x 80” for the next.
The Custom Size feature allows the users much simpler access for several capabilities:
xChoose any paper size “on-the-fly” without adding new paper sizes to the operating system
(Printers and FaxesÆServer PropertiesÆForms).
xChoose different and non-standard paper sizes for each and every document.
xChoose very long paper sizes.
It is not necessary to exactly match the document length to the output length; the users can
intentionally choose a longer length for the media size. For example, if the image is meant to fit on 36”
wide media, but the user isn’t sure about the length of the media required, the user can set a very long
length (up to 200 feet) and the “white” space (extra paper) at the end of the document will
automatically be removed. This prevents any waste of media without an image (using GL format)
Media Type
The printer may have more than one media type installed. These types
may include bond, vellum and film. This feature allows printing onto a
media type of your choice it the media has been installed. Custom Media
will also be read and available if installed in the printer. Custom media
types are configurable via PrintNET.

Scaling
Many Windows applications have their own scaling capabilities built into the "print menu". For example:
Adobe Acrobat or Photoshop and MS PowerPoint allow for some form of “Scale to Page” type feature.
Some Windows applications such as MS Word and MS Excel do not allow for scaling to engineering and
architectural wide format paper sizes. The Scaling feature in KUWPD allows the user to set a percentage
to enlarge the document to fit the paper size desired when scaling is not included in the application.
Example:
No scale used scale applied to enlarge image

Some Windows applications such as MS Word and MS Excel do not allow for scaling to engineering and

output length and width to enlarge the document to fit the paper size desired when scaling is not
included in the application; this might include non-standard page sizes. Note: if a non-standard page
size is selected, the printer may print on the closest size roll, however scale will not be affected.

Orientation
There are four types of orientation in the driver: Landscape, Reverse Landscape, Portrait and Reverse
Portrait. This ensures that any document may be rotated properly for folding or stacking purposes.
Examples:
Selection of the orientation should take into account the design or layout from within the application. If
an incorrect orientation is selected the page size can be “rotated” incorrectly and image may be lost in
the final printed output.
Media Source
Select output media source from roll media, cut sheet media and paper tray media .
Cut sheet media is available up to sizes 36x48 and is only available in standard architectural or
engineering sizes. Paper may be required to be inserted into the printer prior to printing.
Alignment
Change alignment (image position) on the printed output from the left, center or right placement.

Copies / Output
Copies
Select the total number of copies you wish to print. The range is from 1 to 999.
Collation
If the document to be printed contains more than one page, collation may be important. Collation
may be enabled or disabled per user requirements.
Collation ON – Printed output order: 1, 2, 3, …, 1, 2, 3, …., 1, 2, 3, …. etc. for each print set (copies)
Collation OFF – Printed output order: 1, 1, 1, …., 2, 2, 2, …., 3, 3, 3, ….etc. for each print set (copies)
Page Order
If the document to be printed contains more than one page, collation order may be important. To
allow the pages to be reversed printed (last page first), user can select this function. Please note that
the application must also support multiple page printing.
Mirroring
Select Mirror ON to print a mirrored print of the image on the printed page.
Invert
Select Invert ON to reverse black versus white colors on a monochrome printer.
