PostScript File
The PostScript File options in the Job Properties control the file name and separation job options that pertain to PostScript files. If you do not use PostScript files, these options are not used. To use the PostScript File option: Select the Preview and Size tab. Under PS Options, click Properties and select the Postscript file tab. OR Open the PostScript File options by clicking Alt + Enter and selecting PostScript File. Select the option you want to use. You can use any of the following PostScript File options: File Name Selection Some PostScript files have a title embedded inside the file. To use the embedded title as the job name, select Use Title from File. Otherwise choose Use File Name. Separation File A PostScript Separation File is a format that has separate data for each color channel. There may be a single file or several different files (one for each color channel). Configuring the options for PostScript Separation Files allows RIP-Queue to correctly process these files. To configure the PostScript Separations Options: From the PostScript File tab, enable the Separation File checkbox. Choose the type of separations from the Color Separations drop-down menu. If necessary, modify the number of Spot Separations. Choose the Color Order of the PostScript File. If you do not know the color order, check the original PostScript file using the application it was created with. You can manually modify the Color Order by selecting Custom and using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. NOTE: The PostScript Separations options must be configured properly for the image to process correctly. Non-separated PostScript files will cause PostScript errors during processing when the Separation File checkbox is selected. When using quick sets in RIP-Queue only set PostScript Separation Quick Set options if you will always use separated PostScript files of the same separation format with the Quick Set. Use Cutter Path Prefix In order for spot colors to be interpreted as cut paths, the name of the spot colors in the PostScript files must be defined in the Use Cutter Path Prefix Option. The name entered in the Use Cutter Path Prefix field must have a prefix identical to the name of the spot colors in the file. For example, if CutContour was entered in the Use Cutter Path Prefix field, spot colors named CutContour1, CutContour2, and so on would be converted into cut paths. However, spot colors named 1CutContour, 2CutContour, and so on would not be converted. In RIP-Queue you also have the option of enabling Add PDF Trim Box to Cut Paths. This option works only with PDF files and creates a cut path around the image according to the border of the PDF.	Figure 1
