box. You can then create a page setup, as described on page 11. In some cases you
may need or wish to create device types. See “Creating device types” on page 11 for
details.
If you have installed the plugin into earlier versions of the RIP, or you have not been
supplied with password files, you must enable the devices and color management by
following the steps in “Entering passwords”.
1.4.1 Entering passwords
The devices supported by the plugin are classed into series and you need just one pass-
word to enable all the devices in a series. For example, a password for the HP Design-
Jet 1000 Series enables both the HP DesignJet 1050C and the HP DesignJet 1055CM.
Follow the steps below to enable color management and devices.
Note: In order to set HDS Super Fine screening as the default screening used by color
devices, you must enable HDS or HDS Light before you enable devices. Otherwise,
color devices use the Round screen set by default. Monochrome devices use the
Euclidean screen set by default. See “Halftone screen selection” on page 19 for details
of these screen sets.
1. Enable the use of HDS or HDS Light by entering the password in the Enable
Feature dialog box.
Use the
Harlequin RIP > Configure RIP menu option and click Extras. Choose
HDS or HDS light from the list in the Configure RIP Extras dialog box. Click
Add to display the Enable Feature dialog box. Enter the password and click OK.
2. Enable your chosen device(s).
For example, to enable all the devices in the HP DesignJet 2000 series (HP
DesignJet 2000CP/2500CP), choose the entry
HP, DesignJet 2000 Series,
click
Add to display the Enable Feature dialog box, and enter the password.
Click
OK.
3. Enable the use of HIPP or Harlequin ColorPro (Eclipse Release or later RIPs) as
described in step 1. Click
OK twice to exit the Configure RIP dialog box.
