HP RIP Software - Release Notes

0706400 Revision F 7
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 compo-
nent 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 2.24 or later of the ColorSpan 9840UV printer embedded software
and the version 1.1 RIP software.
• Re-RIPed jobs — when you re-RIP a job, a copy of the job is created in the input queue. The copy will have
“(rerip)” appended to its name. The original job is left where it was.
• User interface changes
• New button bar below the detail pane. The standard buttons always appear there: Submit, Cancel, Help,
Pause. If there is a panel-specific button, it will be in the middle: Initialize, Add Filter, Rescan.
• Various performance improvements have been implemented.
• Java Runtime settings — “Java Settings,” on page 1-4 of the Revision A User Guide (part number 0706399), rec-
ommended configuring Java memory settings in the Windows Control Panel applet for Java. These settings should
be applied only if you notice slow RIP performance with large numbers of print jobs; even in this case, try using
128 or 256 instead of 512 as was previously recommended. Configuring these settings is not recommended at all
if you are using Internet Explorer 7, since doing so could prevent the RIP interface from running.
• ColorMark+ shadow range — after entering a shadow range number, press the Enter key on your computer key-
board; otherwise, your entry is discarded during the color profile generation process.
Version 1.0
• Do not use the URL “localhost” when launching the RIP interface in a web browser, use the computer name or the
computer’s IP address. See “Remote Console” on page 1-24 of the User Guide (part number 0706399) for instruc-
tions.
• The “Start Kodiak Automatically” option in the Kodiak tray icon menu is disabled until a future version of the soft-
ware.
• Avoid large numbers of print jobs in queues, which slows the visible performance of the browser view of the RIP.
• Creating Media Saver jobs and copying jobs are computer resource-intensive. Avoid performing these actions
while printing.
• The default Media Saver job width (width of the media loaded on the printer) may not match the width saved in
the previously-saved Media Saver job. In this case, the width saved in the Media Saver job will be used.
• Creating a Media Saver job with a gutter of 0 (zero) will result in an error. Always use a gutter value of greater
than zero.
• Ensure that all print jobs are complete before shutting down the RIP. Any jobs ripping or printing when you shut
down the RIP will be deleted.
