Part 1: Installation and Setup
1-3 Setting up the Client Computer
The computer for creating image files is called a client computer. It is useful for passing image files to connect the client
with the RIP server (the computer which is installed the RIP software) via a network. One computer can work as the
client and the RIP server at the same time.
COLORIP can handle image files such as PostScript, EPS, and Tiff. However, you need to install the PostScript driver
on the client when creating PostScript files.
