Windows BLL Generator Features 13  
 
True Color  
Windows BLL Generator supports  
which enables you to produce life-like pictures with any  
24-bit color,  
of over 16.7 million colors. 24-bit color refers to the way color information is stored in the image. 24-bit  
color is sometimes called “true-color” because it reproduces the full range of color visible to the human  
eye.  
Easy to Use and Highly Compatible  
Windows BLL Generator is compatible with all Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT  
applications that provide the  
command. To print images the Windows BLL Generator, you simply  
Print  
invoke the Print command from your Windows application. Images will be sent from your application to  
Windows BLL Generator for processing.

Chapter 5: Principle of Operation  
This section explains how the Windows BLL Generator and WinRascol work together to produce film  
output.  
Introduction  
WinRascol consists of two software components:  
The queue and print manager. It queues print jobs and sends them to the film  
recorder. WinRascol32 is the same program on Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT.  
WinRascol32:  
The printer driver is used when you  
WinRascol Printer Driver, or Windows BLL Generator:  
invoke the command from within a Windows application. Due to architectural differences  
Print  
between Windows 95/98 and Windows NT, there need to be separate printer drivers for each  
type of operating system.  
There are several different ways to use WinRascol:  
The user on a PC with a film recorder attached can print by:  
Printing directly from an application with the WinRascol Printer Driver, or  
Adding image files directly to the queue with WinRascol32.  
The user on a PC without a film recorder can:  
Print from an application with the Windows BLL Generator to make BLL files, or  
Save images in one of the formats that WinRascol supports directly.  
Introduction 27  
 
BLLs and other image files should be placed into dropbox directories that are serviced automatically by  
a PC with WinRascol. If dropbox directories are not accessible, BLL and other image files can be  
copied to a disk and later added to WinRascol on the PC with a film recorder.  
NOTE: Image files in dropbox directories will be automatically deleted after they are printed.  
28 Principle of Operation  
 
Printing from Windows on a PC without Film Recorder  
Producing slides from Windows applications on a PC without film recorder is a simple four-step  
process.  
Select a BLL-generator Driver as the output device for the Windows application on the PC.  
Create the images with the application.  
Print the images using the Print command from within the application on the client PC.

Important Concepts  
This section explains resolution, color fidelity, and the differences between bitmaps and objects.  
Resolution  
Resolution can be defined in many ways. Dots per inch (DPI) is a common definition, but an impractical  
one for slides and overhead transparencies because the DPI changes significantly when the image is  
projected.  
The most practical definition of  
is the total number of dots (or pixels) in the image. The  
resolution

Important Concepts 31  
 
When discussing film recorder resolution, the terms 2000-line slide, 4000-line slide and 8000-line slide  
are commonly used. The number of lines refers to the number of dots across the image. Examples:  
High end Lasergraphics film recorders can image up to 16384x13448 dots. This is  
NOTE:  
called 16000-line resolution. Some camera backs have a different aspect ratio that enables the  
film recorder to output at higher vertical resolution like 4096x3362. This is still called 4000-line  
resolution.  
Color Fidelity  
Color fidelity refers to the range of colors that can be reproduced in an image.  
The range of colors that can be represented is defined by the number of  
image. The more bits per pixel, the greater the range of colors.  
used to store an  
bits per pixel  
Windows BLL Generator supports 24-bits per pixel, 8 for each of red, green, and blue. This results in  
256 shades of each primary color, which can combine to form 16.7 million colors. Each pixel in an  
image can be a different color.  
32 Principle of Operation  
 
Bitmaps and Objects  
Images can contain  
,
, or both. Bitmaps consist of dots or pixels. Objects consist of  
bitmaps objects  
mathematical descriptions of a shape, such as a polygon or line. Applications that create bitmaps are  
often called “paint” programs and those that create objects are often called “draw” or “illustration”  
programs. Both graphics and text can be bitmaps or objects.  
Graphics  
At high-resolution, bitmaps look the same if the film recorder resolution exceeds the resolution of the  
bitmap but objects get sharper.  
You can usually tell bitmaps from objects by watching how the image is created when it is first displayed  
on the screen. Bitmaps are usually drawn on the screen from top to bottom in one chunk. Objects are  
assembled in pieces.  
Text  
Text can be a bitmap or an object, just as graphics can. Text that is part of a bitmapped graphic with  
lower than film recorder resolution remains jagged at high-resolution. However, text that is an object  
can get sharper when output at high-resolution.  
is  
fonts sharp at any size and resolution.  
Text created with  
(
) or  
ATM Adobe Type Manager TrueType  
In addition, ATM and TrueType fonts will look the same on screen as on the slides printed by  
WinRascol.  
Important Concepts 33  
 
Which Applications Create Bitmaps or Objects  
Most images contain either bitmaps or objects, but some images can contain both. Here are some of  
the more popular applications:

Paper size determines the paper dimensions returned to the application.  
Paper size does not correspond to the actual size of the film.  
NOTE:  
NOTE:  
Make sure to match the paper size and orientation settings of the printer driver with  
those of your application. Some applications will ignore paper dimensions returned by the  
printer driver. Paper size and orientation mismatches can lead to badly sized images.

Film Type  
specifies the type of film in the camera back connected to the film recorder. Windows BLL  
Film Type  
Generator supports two types of film, LFC-based and non-LFC based. LFC based film choices rely on  
so-called LFC files that reside in the LGDATA\LFC directory. These LFC files contain transfer functions  
for specific film/film recorder combinations. The transfer functions of non-LFC based films have been  
pre-programmed into the film recorders.  
Choose LFC-based films over non-LFC-based films when possible!

Background Color  
specifies the background color of the image. This setting is ignored if the  
Background Color  
application explicitly sets the background color in the image. Use Background Color to set the color of  
unpainted regions to white for text applications like Word. Otherwise, you might end up with black text  
on black background!  
Scaling  
controls how the image is scaled for output. 100% keeps the image size unchanged. To  
Scaling  
shrink the image, set the value to less than 100%. To expand the image, set the value to greater than  
100%. The range of valid scaling values is 20% to 400%.  
Minimum Exposure Time  
This setting applies mostly to very old film recorders that have no internal slice mark control  
mechanisms. Minimum Exposure Time controls the exposure time of the film recorder to eliminate slice  
marks (periodic faint horizontal lines) on the output. Normally Fastest Possible should be selected. If  
there are slice marks on the output slide, set the minimum exposure time to 1.5 times the normal  
processing time of the image. If slice marks are still there, increase the value and try again.  
Color Balance  
controls the percentages of red, green and blue used in the film recorder. Normally,  
Color balance  
each of the three colors is set to 100%. The range of valid color balance values is 25% to 400%.  
Printer Settings 39  
 
Contrast Gamma  
allows for very fine contrast adjustment. The range of valid gamma contrast values  
Contrast Gamma  
is 0.14 to 7.0. However, values between 0.25 and 2.0 are usually more practical. By adjusting the  
gamma contrast value you can change the midtones of the image without affecting the highlights. As  
the gamma contrast value decreases, output midtones become darker. As the gamma contrast value  
increases, output midtones become lighter.  
The graph under the scroll bar for gamma contrast adjustment (only available in some dialogs) shows  
how input intensities are mapped to output intensities. The horizontal axis represents input intensities  
which increase from left to right. The vertical axis represents output intensities which increase from  
bottom to top.

Using the Windows 95/98 driver  
Printing a document or image to a film recorder from an application is just like printing to any ordinary  
printer. This process will vary slightly from application to application, but generally the Print command in  
the application’s File menu will do the trick.  
Printer settings in Windows 95/98  
The printer driver allows changing a number of print settings. Most of these settings don’t need to be  
changed in many cases, but you will always need to select the film type you want to use. The

Note that the higher the resolution, the longer it will take to print the image on the film recorder. As  
a rule of thumb, 2k images will take at least 30 seconds, 4k images will take at least 40 seconds,  
8k images will take at least 150 seconds and 16k images will take at least 600 seconds. The exact
