PS/PDF Separations
The PS/PDF Separations options (Figure 1) in the Advanced Quick Set Options control the separation job options that pertain to PostScript files. If you do not use PostScript files, the options on this tab are not used. To use the PS/PDF Separations options: Open the Advanced Quick Set Options by clicking Edit Quick Sets > Edit > Advanced > PostScript File tab. Select the PostScript File options you want to use. You can use any of the following PostScript File options: 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. Auto-detect Separations When the Auto-detect separations option is activated, the following information is automatically detected for separation files: Color Separations Spot Separations Color Order Auto-replace Spot Colors When the Auto-replace Spot Colors option is activated, defined colors in the Spot Channel Replacement dialog are referenced first. If spot colors have not been defined in the Spot Channel Replacement dialog, the spot color information defined on the PostScript File tab is referenced. Spot colors within files can be converted to various color spaces for printing on printers with different ink configurations. For example, the spot colors in a CMYKSS file can be converted to CMYK so the file can be printed correctly on a CMYK printer. NOTE: If the Auto-replace Spot Colors checkbox is left unchecked, the defined colors in the Spot Channel Replacement dialog will not be referenced.	Figure 1
