The [Printer] option determines which printer RIP-Queue 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 Job 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 Group] and the [Media Name]. Because the [Media Name] is specific to the Media Configuration, choose the [Media Group] before choosing the [Media Name].

• Media Group - This option sets the type of media or ink setup that is in the printer.
• Media Name - This option sets the name or type of media (e.g., paper) that you want to use.

This option determines how the image is to be printed.

• Print Mode - The [Print Mode] setting determines the resolution and dot pattern used when printing. [Resolution] 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 [Dot Pattern] is the method by which the printer places the dots that make up an image.

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] button to assign individual profiles or to add advanced profiles. SeeICC Profile Setupfor more information on changing profiles.

data to the specified cutting device.
