Page 319 (.PLT). Using this method, users have 2 choices of sending data to the Printer. a) Point the output path of the ‘IMRTL.plt’ driver directly to the KIP ‘Port’ (for more information regarding the KIP ‘Port’, please refer to the windows driver section) on the KIP Controller.
Page 320 The line that requires a change is marked below in bold. For an example, we will assume that the MICROSTATION User requires to print to a KIP 3000 Printer. We will also assume the Computer name to be “KIP-PPC”. Method 2 : Direct Print Since the Port would be set up automatically with the change as on the next page, users would be able to use this driver (KIPGL.PLT) to create plot file...
Page 321 This line above, should be: default_outFile/auto_overwrite = \\Computername\Shared_printer_driver name\ or as in example using ‘KIP-PPC” as the Computer name and ‘KIP3000” as the shared printer driver name: default_outFile/auto_overwrite = \\KIP-PPC\KIP3000 Once the changes are made, the user could overwrite the file with the same filename, or could save the new file as ‘KIPGL.PLT’.

Page 333 Introduction The following document contains technical detail and description related to the networkability of KIP printers, functionality of KIP printers in various network typologies, and concepts relating to client-server printing architecture. This document is intended for an audience familiar with core networking fundamentals and concepts, and an understanding of general network typologies and practices.
Page 334 All KIP digital printers are capable of communicating via a dedicated TCP port designed for printing called Line Printer Remote / Line Printer Daemon. LPR/LPD protocols are defined by RFC1179. The KIP LPD accepts data on TCP port 515. Whereas LPR/LPD is commonly found in UNIX based networks, it is also found and accepted on Windows based networks, and Novell based networks.
Page 335 Job Tickets to the KIP Printer, and retrieve status indications from the KIP printer. KAWPDFT.EXE selects any unused upper level client TCP port ( > 1023 ) and attempts to connect to the KIP Printer’s listening TCP port (8421).
Page 336 (KIP printer) other than the current port location. This destination can be specified by either an assigned IP address of a KIP printer or resolved host name of a KIP printer (i.e. DNS or WINS name resolved). This transport is accomplished via TCP port 8421 to a listening KIPSERVE.EXE on the remote host.
Page 337 A KIP Job ticket is thus generated and is said to be in native mode format. Data that has been determined to have not been generated by KUWPD causes the KIP port monitor to operate in Pass- through mode.
