Printing Modes - PostScript and Raster
The Kodak printers supported are of 2 types. Models with the PS
extension support both PostScript and Raster printing modes.
Models with no PS extension support Raster mode printing only.
Printing in PostScript mode is supported by using application
software packages. Raster mode is a Kodak proprietary printing
language that is more efficient than PostScript in terms of
performance and use of special printer features.
Kodak Printer Software
Kodak provides PostScript drivers for PostScript mode printing
and export modules for Raster mode printing from Macintosh and
Windows platforms. Adobe Photoshop application software for
use with the export modules must be purchased from Adobe.
Non-Kodak Printer Software
Applications and drivers are also available from third party
support vendors for most platforms. Information on vendors and
software solutions can be found on the Kodak world wide web site
at:

Also, if a Kodak driver is not available, a generic PostScript driver
or LaserWriter driver could be used in conjunction with the
specific Kodak printer PPD file to generate PostScript output to
the printer.
