10. How does Licensing and the Hardware Dongle work?
Each Epson Stylus Pro 7900 CTP includes a License for the EFI Rip software. Required for this license is a
hardware dongle and an EAC Code. Both are included in the package. Once you install the software and
insert the Hardware dongle, you will be asked to enter the EAC code. Once this is done, that EAC code is
attached to that dongle and cannot be changed.
It is NOT recommended that you run this software on a computer that also is running other versions of EFI
software as there could be licensing conflicts between the multiple software packages.
11. Can I also make proofs?
Yes, The EFI RIP and the Epson Stylus Pro 7900 CTP system are fully capable of making Proofs of jobs on
paper. All of the Epson proofing papers are supported. It is recommended that you create a preset inside the
RIP that allows Proofs. To do this, select an Epson Proofing paper” on the “Print” Tab and “media Set” sub tab
in the Property window:
For Example, when you select Epson Standard Proofing Paper, the RIP is then set to print a proof. Then, drag
you job into the RIP and the RIP will not separate the print job, but instead prepare it to be produced on
paper.
12. How do I change between proofing and plates?
The EFI CTP RIP allows you to create and save presets settings that control everything from the color settings,
media settings, and layout preferences. The simplest way to switch easily between plates, proofs and
different plate sizes is to create presets for each “workflow”. To create a preset, select the Actions mneu and
then select the “preferences” menu. Here, you can go through each tab and sub tab to create the settings
you wanted to store as a preset.
