RIP Options 1-37
To Configure the RIP
The initial settings configured for the RIP should be appropriate
for most jobs; however, there are two optional settings you can
configure:
◆
The amount of Virtual Memory
◆
The level of detail in the error messages displayed
To set these RIP options, follow these steps:
1. Position the cursor over the RIP icon.
2. Click and hold either mouse button to view the RIP menu.
3. Select Configure.
The following dialog box appears:
4. Set the amount of Virtual Memory.
The Virtual Memory (VM) Size option sets the amount of
working memory reserved for PostScript jobs. More VM is
required for complex jobs; less is required for simpler jobs.
Increasing the amount of virtual memory may be necessary
to successfully print complex documents, but be aware that
the printing process may slow down since less RAM is avail-
able. The default setting of 8 megabytes is adequate for most
PostScript documents. Use a higher setting, up to 10 Mb,
only if you get VM errors with complex PostScript jobs.
5. Select an Error Handler option.
If either Expert or Novice is checked, the RIP uses a
PostScript error handler each time a job is processed. If a
PostScript error occurs, the error handler prints a page
describing the error.
