You must also tell your supplier the platform for which you require the password or
password file. The platform is the combination of operating system and processor
type. For example, you might specify Windows NT, and Intel processor (CPU).
Once you have a valid password or password file, follow the relevant steps:
Password file Copy the password file into the
Passwords folder, which is a
subfolder of the
SW folder. See the RIP Manual for further
details.
Password Use the
File > Configure RIP menu option to display the Con-
figure RIP dialog box. Click the
Extras button in the Config-
ure RIP dialog box to display the Extras dialog box. Select
the entry for the device or option that you wish to add, and
click
Add to display the Enable Feature dialog box. Enter the
password given to you by your supplier, and click
OK.
1.11.7 Patterning when not using color management
You may see patterning in flat tint areas of black if you print without using any color
management. To avoid this problem, use the supplied calibration profiles and color
profiles, as listed on page 18. If the media or screening type that you wish to use is not
supported by the supplied profiles, you need to create your own profile. If necessary,
you can use the supplied profiles that are optimized for HDS Super Fine screening
with all of the HDS screen sets.
1.11.8 Sending files to a printer using Windows printer drivers
You can send output to a printer using a networked PC acting as a print server, by cre-
ating an output file in the RIP and then sending this file to a PC print server. This
method allows the use of Windows print spooling and transfers all control of the
printer to the print server.
For the RIP running on a PC, you can enter the name of the print server and printer in
the Configure Device dialog box when sending output to file.
For the RIP running on a Macintosh computer, you can send files by copying the file
to a PC and then dragging it to the printer.
