Part 3: Quick Manual

The [RIP Queue] Tab

Pressing any one of the three processing buttons on the [Basic] tab brings up the [RIP Queue] tab and adds an entry to

the RIP queue. The tab window displays an automatically assigned file name and two other columns of information:

In the RIP column, the letter "R" will be displayed if you have pressed either the [Rip and Print] or the [RIP only]

buttons. This "flag" indicates that the job will be RIP'd at the first opportunity, in the order it is listed in the queue. If you

have selected [RIP and Print], a number will be displayed in the second (Print) column, showing the number of copies

to be printed.

If you have selected the [Add to RIP Queue] button, the number "0" will be displayed in the first (RIP) column. The file

will not be processed until you change the status of that file in the queue listing in the [RIP Queue] editing menu (next

section).

RIP Queue Editing Menu

Open the RIP Queue editing menu by double-clicking on an entry. This menu

allows you to change the status of a queued file and manage other processing

parameters.

Changing RIP status

The [RIP at first opportunity] check box in the upper left corner allows you to

change the status of a waiting file, in other words, to flag a file for RIP'ing. To

RIP the file, check this box and exit the menu by pressing [OK]. An "R" will

now be displayed in the RIP column next to the highlighted file. To activate

the RIP process, you must be sure to exit the [RIP Queue] tab by pressing

[OK]. The file will be processed in the order it appears in the queue list and

added to the print queue. See the next paragraph for more important informa-

tion.

Selecting Number of Copies to Print

When the [RIP at first opportunity] box has been checked, the Copies window

will become active. Changing the value in this window from "0" to "1" or

more will cause the file to be printed directly after RIP'ing. Leaving this value

at "0" will move the file automatically to the Print queue, where it will be displayed with a "0" in the Copies column

until you take further action.
