HP RIP Software Release Notes Release Notes
Update Instructions Note For HP branding purposes, the URL for the RIP has changed to http://[hostname]/hp-ripsw, where [hostname] is the name of your computer. The software updater will delete the kodiak folder on your computer, and create a new one called hp-ripsw. Any bookmarks or shortcuts will need to point to this new folder. 1. Exit any software programs that are running on the server workstation. 2.
Note Leave page filing (swap file) on. This is an advanced virtual memory setting that is enabled by default. Turning off page filing will significantly slow the performance of the RIP. Relicense After you restart the RIP following a software update, you may need to relicense the software. 8. If prompted by the RIP, locate and write down the Host ID, located in the Licensing pane of the RIP “home page.
Version 1.5 • NEW Support for the HP Scitex FB950 Printer. • NEW Queue subfolders — subfolders can be added to output queues by right clicking a queue in the tree pane and specifying a file name, similar to how they are created in Windows Explorer. For instructions, refer to the online help or User Guide page 2-3. • NEW Job archiving — print jobs can be saved to an external file and copied to removeable media for archiving or transfer to another HP RIP Software server.
Check the printer dot gain file: • If there is calibrated data in the printer dot gain file, use it. • If not, use the data in the ICC profile. Two batch files are included with this version to enable you to switch between these two methods. • use_13.bat replaces the default version 1.4 dot gain files with version 1.3 dot gain files. These "legacy" (version 1.3) dot gain files have been modifed slightly to ensure the data in them is always used by HP RIP Software version 1.4.
Version 1.2 • NEW Profile creation method — this version uses color data rather than reflectance data. This results in more accurate color profiles; however, this version is not compatible with the factory profiles created prior to version 1.2. This version includes a complete set of color profiles to replace the profiles used with previous versions. • NEW Color profile creation — this version enables you to create custom color profiles for the media of your choice.
Version 1.1 • Batch operations — you can now move, copy, pause/resume and delete a selection of multiple jobs, rather than just one job at a time. • Media Saver — performance of Media Saver jobs in queues has been improved. Deleting one or more component jobs of a Media Saver job will not affect the Media Saver job (it can still be printed). • Multi-Sheet N-UP improvements (ColorSpan 9840UV) — see the printer Release Notes (part number 0706408) for details. These features require the version 2.
• New browser window — from the browser that is displaying the RIP, if you launch a new window from the browser’s File menu (Ctrl-N in Internet Explorer and Firefox), or browse to another site in the original window and then return to the RIP, the RIP will apparently stop responding. If this happens, refresh the browser window (press F5 in Internet Explorer and Firefox). • Otherwise, avoid refreshing the RIP browser. It may cause inaccuracies in the information displayed.
