FastRIP 10.0 User’s Manual
Two EPSON Drivers....
When you choose the Epson printer driver during installation, FastRIP creates a new “Postscript”
driver for the printer. e new driver is actually a FastRIP tool that tells FastRIP to rasterize the
image before sending it to the printer. is new driver is called Epson Stylus Pro 4000 PS, Epson
Stylus Pro 4800 PS, Epson Stylus Pro 7800 (FastRIP XL) or Epson Stylus Pro 9800 (FastRIP
LF). e standard Epson driver is called EPSON Stylus Photo *, EPSON Stylus Pro *, or EP-
SON Stylus Color *. ese ARE NOT the same drivers. It is very important to remember which
driver to use with FastRIP.
Also, the FastRIP High Speed Driver will look like Epson 4800 Separations.
To see the various printer drivers on your system, go to the Start Button on the Windows Task-
bar. Click on Settings > Printers or Control Panel > Printers and Faxes and you will see this win-
dow.
IMPORTANT POINT
If you right click on the “new” FastRIP print driver and select Properties, you will notice
under the Port tab in Printer Properties that this “driver” prints to a port called FastRIP
Demo 9.0: My Queue (PhotoScript Port), and NOT your standard LPT*, USB, FireWire,
or Ethernet port.
