Use Kodak Network Imaging System Printers

Calyx RIM Publisher supports NexPress Network Imaging System based printers via a KDK+DSC job ticket pre-pended to PDF or Postscript page descriptions. The KDK+DSC job ticket is a Kodak/NexPress proprietary technology supported by the Kodak Network Imaging System controller (also referred to in this documentation as KDKNIS). The Kodak Network Imaging System controller is used by several manufacturers (Canon, IBM, Heidelberg AG) for differently branded products. InSight produces identical Job Tickets for all supported printers.

Because Calyx RIM selects paper by media attributes (size, weight, media type, and color) your printer must be configured for the paper stocks you use in it. You can set up the printer using the Network Imaging System application running the Sun workstation connected to the printer.

You must configure the printer before any Calyx RIM output can be processed. The printer controller must be rebooted after you set up the paper catalog so it is recommended that you add all US and/or international paper stock to the paper catalog at the same time.
