							To ensure color consistency when reprinting the job, use the same paper type.
1. Check that the color calibration is valid for the p
aper type that is loaded. On the front pane, select
the 
 icon, and then select  View loaded paper . In the Paper information  window,
check that  Color Calibration  is OK . If the status of the Color Calibration is  Pending or

Use ESRI ArcGIS 9 to print a map
ArcGIS is a scalable system of software for 
geographic data creation, management, integration,
analysis, and dissemination for every organization, from  an individual to a globally distributed network
of people.
The software always sends RGB data to the printer dr iver. Select from several different printer engines.
The printer engine determines the format and method  that ArcMap uses to send the print job to the
printer. One to three options are available,  depending on license and printer configurations.
● Windows  is the default and is always available, regard less of the printer that is in use. It allows
the software to use the installed HP-GL/2 and RTL driver
● PostScript  is available only if your printer supports  PostScript and when the PostScript driver has
been selected in the Name sectio n. This allows you to output the file as a PostScript file. This
option might be useful in certain sp ecific cases, but in general it is not recommended .
● ArcPress is an extension that can be  purchased for printing from ArcGIS. It is a software RIP that
takes the original metafile and appli es raster to it before sending it to the printer, so that the
printer does not need to. This is  beneficial because some printers  cannot apply raster or do not
have enough memory to process large jobs.  Always use ArcPress with HP RTL (RGB) TrueColor .
Use the Windows printer engine
1.Make sure that you have installed the HP-GL/2 and RTL driver.
2. When you are ready to print, select  File > Page and Print Setup , and select the HP-GL/2 and
RTL driver.

							3.Click the  Properties  button and configure the driver as follows.
● On the  Paper/Quality  tab, set Print Quality to  Quality.
● On the  Color tab, clear the  Print In Grayscale  check box, and set Printer managed
colors  to sRGB  in the  Source profile  drop-down menu.
4. Click the  OK button.
5. Select  File > Print.
● Printer Engine : select Windows Printer .
● Output Image Quality (Resample Ratio) : this setting alters the number of pixels that
are sampled when an ArcMap print file is gene rated. It determines how many pixels in the
map document are used to create th e file that goes to the printer.
◦ Fast = 1:5
◦ Normal = 1:3
◦ Best = 1:1 (as is)
Selecting  Best requires a lot of printe r resources to process the print job, and might cause
long processing times and gene rate out-of-memory messages, depending on the map size. If
you experience these issues, select an Ou tput Image Quality that is lower than Best. You will
gain no advantage in print quality when you se nd an image that has resolution higher than
the printers input resolution.
6. Click the  OK button to print.
Use the ArcPress printer engine
1. Even though it will function only as a port, yo
u must have the driver that you need installed.
2. When you are ready to print, select  File > Page and Print Setup , select the driver (the driver
settings have no effect), and click the  OK button.
3. Select  File > Print.
● Printer Engine : select ArcPress.
