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:

WinRascol32: 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.

WinRascol Printer Driver, or Windows BLL Generator: The printer driver is used when you

invoke the Print command from within a Windows application. Due to architectural differences
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.
