pr O C e S S O r Sp e e d
Processor speeds will determine how fast files will be processed through FastRIP. If your processor
is slow and the image is large and/or complex, it will take a long time for the job to be complet-
ed. Since most graphic intensive images qualify as large and complex, we recommend you have a
fast processor. Simply stated, ”e faster the processor speed, the quicker the file will print to the
printer.”

When setting up your printer, make sure the FastINK cartridge is inserted into slot #5. If the
message ”Wrong Ink” displays on the Epson 4000 Control Panel, look at the white sticker on the
FastINK cartridge. e top line will start with”US....BLKD110U.” If there is not a ”U” at the
end of the product code, contact the Support Department to exchange the FastINK cartridge. If
you find an Epson Matte Black cartridge in slot # 5 of the printer, contact the Support Depart-
ment to exchanged the cartridge for a FastINK cartridge that has a Matte Chip.
