File Menu

 

The File Menu gives you quick access to tools that let you manage your application.

 

You can open the "File Menu" clicking [File ] on the main toolbar. Once the File Menu opens, you can choose from the following options:

 

This option allows you to open single images. See Opening an Image for more information.

 

This option allows you to open an entire folder of images in RIP-Queue. See Opening an Image for more information.

 

This option sends the currently selected job to Job Editor. See Job Editor for more information about the Job Editor application.

 

This opens Layout Tool application. See Layout Tool for more information.

 

This opens CUT-Server application. See CUT-Server for more information.

 

This option allows you to scan an image directly into RIP-Queue. TWAIN is an industry standard that is used for retrieving images from scanners and digital cameras.

  • Acquire - This option allows you to scan an image. To scan an image, make sure the scanner or camera is attached and on first. Also check that you have the correct device selected in RIP-Queue by clicking File > TWAIN_32 > Select Source > Your Device. Then select File > TWAIN_32 > Acquire. This will automatically import the image into RIP-Queue.
  • Select Source - This option determines which device you are using. RIP-Queue will automatically display the devices that are connected to your computer.

 

NOTE: See the User Manual or Help Files for your scanner or digital camera if you have trouble using the TWAIN option.

 

  • Printed Job Log - This option displays information about each printed job. This information includes time and date of printing, media used, operator name, and other items. This information can be used to track your previously printed jobs.
  • Key - This option displays the Permissions for your product.

 

This option restarts your program.

This opens the Printer Manager dialog. Select a printer that you want to use and configure printer settings that you need.

This opens Cutter Manager dialog. Select a cutter that you want to use and configure cutter marks.

You can create custom mark variations for the same cutter. Highlight a cutter and click the [Duplicate...] button. This opens the Configure Cut Marks dialog, with “Copy” appended to the cutter name. Enter a new name if desired, and select the settings you want for this variation of the cutter, and click [OK]. The duplicated cutter will be listed in Cutter Manager and will show up in the Contour Cutter Selection list with the new name that was entered.
