acters with a special meaning to your operating system, try surrounding that code with
double quotes. For example, use
"%f" in the post processing text box rather than just
%f.
If there are no special characters involved, look at the number of substitution codes
that you are using and the length of the command string both before and after expan-
sion of the substitution codes. The limit on the length of the expanded command string
varies with the Microsoft Windows environment but you should have no problems
with up to 125 characters in the string after expansion.
1.7 Routine use
To send output to a device or file you must create a page setup. This involves two
main steps. Firstly, you must choose your device from the
Device menu in the Page
Setup dialog box and configure the device as described in “Device configuration” on
page 20. Secondly, you must set the desired page setup options to complete a page
setup.
1.7.1 Page setup controls
The page setup controls that you generally need to consider are described below. See
the RIP Manual for further details.
Device
The
Device menu offers a list of supported device types.
If the device type that you require is not available in this menu, see “Creating
device types” on page 11.
ProofReady
This menu appears in Eclipse Release or later RIPs. You can choose a Proof-
Ready profile from this menu which uses a color setup and calibration profile
for a particular paper, ink and resolution combination. See “Supplied profiles”
on page 18 for further details.
When you select a profile from this menu, the correct resolution is automatically
set and should not be changed. A default
(ProofReady) color setup is also
used. If you wish to use a color setup that you have created, choose
(None). See
