The Printer option determines which printer RIP-QueueAn organized list of jobs that are printed on a first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. will use to print your image.

 

To change the printer, click the down arrow and select the printer you want to use. Because most settings are printer specific, when you change the printer you should verify that the media, page size, resolutions, and other settings are correct.

 

NOTE: You can only change the printer in JobAn image coupled with RIP-Queue settings. Editor if Job Editor was opened independent of RIP-Queue. If Job Editor was run from RIP-Queue you cannot change the printer. 

The Media area specifies the media you want to use. The media is comprised of the Media Configuration and the Media Name. Because the Media Name is specific to the Media Configuration, choose the Media Configuration before choosing the Media Name.

• Media Configuration - The Media Configuration is the type of media or ink setup that is in the printer.
• Media Name - The Media Name is the name or type of media (e.g., paper) that you want to use.
• OutputOutput is the physical image produced by your printer. Output quality mainly depends upon the color (accurate, reproducible, pleasing), and clarity (resolution, dot placement, etc.) of the print on the desired medium (e.g. glossy photo, film, canvas). - Output shows the primary color setup that the Media is configured for. This setting automatically changes with the Media Configuration.
• Ink Setup - Ink Setup shows the type of inks or ink setup that the Media is configured for. This setting automatically changes with the Media Configuration.

The Printer Mode determines how the image is to be printed.

• Print ModeA Print Mode is an individual characterization of Ink, Media and Printer Settings. Print Modes can have any number of variables, intended for different output targets. Some examples of multiple print modes for the same media are: High Speed, Production, High Quality, and Ink Saving Modes. Print modes allow for multiple output conditions on the same material. - The Print Mode setting determines the resolution and dot pattern used when printing. ResolutionThe number of dots available to represent graphic detail in a given area. On a computer screen, resolution is usually measured in pixels per inch (ppi). On a printer, the resolution is measured in dots per inch, or dpi. Halftone resolution measurements are in lines per inch, or LPI. See also Screen Ruling. is the number of dots per inch (dpi) that the printer will use to print the image. Higher resolutions print higher quality images, but take slightly longer to process and print. The DotA single element in the halftone printing process. In traditional halftone generation, dots vary in size to control the intensity of the printed color. In digital printing, the dot size is fixed by the print mechanism. Pattern is the method by which the printer places the dots that make up an image.
• Color ManagementDevice dependent Color Spaces RGB and CMYK are both referred to as device dependent color spaces because the colors defined in these spaces are intrinsically associated to the devices they are defined on. - The Color Management option controls the type of color profile that is applied to the image. Choose the Color Management setting that best describes the type of output quality you desire. Click Change Profiles to assign individual profiles or to add advanced profiles. See ICC Profile Setup for more information on changing profiles.

The Source Image area shows information about the original source image. These settings cannot be modified in Job Editor.

• Format - The Format line shows the colorspace and sampling information of the source image.
• Resolution - The Resolution line shows the resolution of the source image.
• Size - The size of the source image is shown in the Size line.
• Pixels - The Pixels line displays the number of pixels (horizontally x vertically) found in the source image.
• File Size - The File Size shows the size in kilobytes of the source image file.

The Contour Cutter drop-down list contains the names of all cutters or cutter families supported by RIP-Queue. The

By Printer option is for use with printers that have an on-board cutter. When this option is selected, RIP-Queue will print the image and then immediately send the cut commands to the device. A cut file is not generated. For all other selections, a cut file is generated for CUT-ServerA computer that provides facilities to other computers on a local area network. Examples of servers include file servers, print servers, and mail servers.. CUT-Server is used to manage and send the cut

data to the specified cutting device.
