About the
Downloader Utility
Use the Downloader Utility to download the following
types of files:
• EPS files to be printed
• TIFF files to be printed
• JPEG files to be printed
• PostScript files to be printed
• Kodak Photo CD files to be printed
• PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts to be saved on the
RIP.
Downloading files saves you the time of importing the file into an
application and then printing it. Downloading also prints the file
faster than an application could by avoiding the processing over-
head of the PostScript language.
Downloading fonts saves time because the server does not
need to wait for the fonts to be downloaded with every print job.
You can download printer fonts only, not screen fonts or font suit-
cases.
The Downloader Utility runs in the background. This allows you
to continue working on your Macintosh while files are being
downloaded. You can even select a different output device in the
Chooser and download other files using the Downloader Utility
while continuing to download the first set of files.
