1 ProofMate™ (ProofReady) Plugin for HP Printers
10 AG50241 Rev. 4
Each device has multiple device types, which specify the use of different features such
as roll-fed or sheet-fed media handling. The first time you enter a password for a
series of HP printers, the RIP and the plugin should make available all supported
device types in the
Device menu in the Page Setup dialog box. You can then create a
page setup for a device type as described in “Creating a page setup” on page 11.
If you enable another series of printers, you must make your chosen device type avail-
able for selection in the Page Setup dialog box before you can create a page setup. See
“Creating device types” for details.
1.4.2 Creating device types
For each device there are two device types; one for roll-fed output and one for sheet-
fed output. For example, the HP 2000CP has the device types
DesignJet 2000CP
Roll
and DesignJet 2000CP Sheet.
In addition, a separate device type for the 1050 series printers allows monochrome
output at 1200 x 1200 dpi. These device types include the text
Mono in their descrip-
tion, for example:
DesignJet 1050C Mono Roll.
If the
Device menu in the Page Setup dialog box does not contain the device that you
require, you must use the Device Manager to create such a device:
1. Use the menu option
Harlequin RIP > Device Manager to open the Device Man-
ager.
2. Depending on your platform, choose either
hprtl.i32 or hprtl from the
Plugin menu and click New.
3. Choose the device type you require from the
Type menu in the Device Manager
Edit dialog box and enter a name for the device in the
Name text box.
Note: If you use the same text to name the new device as that used to label the
device type, you must match the use of lowercase and uppercase characters in
the device type label. Otherwise an error will appear when using a page setup
with this device type, as described on page 48.
4. Click
OK. The device will be listed in the Device Manager and become avail-
able for selection in the Page Setup dialog box.
You can then create a page setup using this device, as described on page 11.
