Part 3: Quick Manual
3-2 The Detail of Job Operations ([Print] Menu)
The four tabs on the [Print] menu allow you to perform basic printing and RIP'ing, set up job parameters, monitor and
change queue order, select print layout mode and other key functions.
The [Basic] Tab
[RIP and Print]
The simplest way to print a job is to open the file, select the [Basic] tab from the Print menu, and press the [RIP and
Print] button. When the view changes to the [RIP Queue] tab, press [OK] and your job will be RIP'd and printed.
Rip Only
This button does what it says. The file will be RIP'd, but not printed. When you select this button, the [RIP Queue] tab
will appear, showing that the file has been added to the RIP queue. Press [OK] to begin processing. After processing, the
file will be added to the Print queue. It can later be accessed and printed on the [Print Queue] tab.
Add to RIP Queue
This option neither RIP's nor prints the job, but adds it to the RIP queue for processing later. When you select this button,
the [RIP Queue] tab will appear, showing that the file has been listed in the RIP queue. You must press [OK] before
exiting to add the file to the RIP queue. The file can later be accessed and re-prioritized.
Immediate Printing
This toggle box allows you to choose when the printer begins printing your job. When the box is unchecked, the printer
will begin printing only after the entire file has been RIP'd. When the box is checked, the printer will begin printing as
soon as the RIP has begun generating data. The advantage of this feature is that it can save total processing time. The
disadvantage is that it can cause problems with print quality: if the RIP provides data to the printer too slowly, the printer
may pause.
