The EPSON Stylus®RIP software lets you use your EPSON

Stylus Color or EPSON Stylus Photo ink jet printer as a

PostScript®3 (Macintosh®, Windows®2000, and

Windows NT®) and Level 2 (Windows 95 and 98) compatible

printer. It reads the Adobe®PostScript files automatically

created by the EPSON Stylus RIP printer driver, seamlessly

converts them into raster images, and automatically prints them

on your printer. You can use the EPSON Stylus RIP with both

Macintosh and Windows systems, in standalone or networked

configurations.

Adobe PostScript is the industry standard for high-quality

graphic output. All the elements in a document—including

text, graphics

, and other images—are processed and reproduced

using PostScript code. Then, when you print from an application

such as QuarkXPress,

the RIP software creates a raster image

from the PostScript code and sends it to your printer.

Do You Need PostScript?

In many cases, you may not need the ability to print in

PostScript, and for these occasions you should use the standard,

non-PostScript driver that comes with your printer. Using the

standard driver is also a good way to ensure that your computer

and printer are connected and working properly, so make sure

you install the non-PostScript EPSON driver following the

instructions in your printer’s setup documentation.

Introduction

Nflight.bk Page 1 Friday, September 1, 2000 8:32 AM

Introduction

Here’s what you can use the EPSON Stylus RIP for:

◗Printing documents with placed or imported EPS images

◗Printing from complex PostScript-based drawing and

publishing applications like Adobe Illustrator,

Macromedia®Freehand,

®Adobe PageMaker,

®QuarkXPress,

and CorelDRAW™

◗Matching PANTONE®spot colors

For all other printing applications, especially photography, use the

standard, non-PostScript EPSON driver. In many cases, you will

get better performance with the standard driver than with the

EPSON Stylus RIP.

Special Features

To make the most of your printer’s photo-quality output, the

EPSON Stylus RIP software includes these special features:

◗EPSON error diffusion software, the same high-quality

AcuPhoto Halftoning™technology used in EPSON’s

non-PostScript printer drivers

◗PANTONE professional color palette files—calibrated for

your EPSON Stylus Color or EPSON Stylus Photo printer

using a variety of media at various resolutions—to give you

PANTONE colors when you use PANTONE licensed

applications

◗Support for ColorSync®2.x on the Macintosh and Image

Color Matching (ICM) for Windows through

International Color Consortium®(ICC) profiles

◗Press Simulation, which adjusts your EPSON printer’s

color gamut to more closely match the output of

SWOP-coated printing devices

Introduction

Macintosh System Requirements

To use EPSON Stylus RIP with a Macintosh in either a

standalone or network environment as a print server, your

system should meet the following minimum requirements:

◗Power Macintosh,

®iMac™series, or Power Macintosh G3

or G4 series

◗At least 16MB of available RAM for the EPSON Stylus

RIP software (20MB or more is recommended), in

addition to the RAM needed by your operating system and

other applications

◗

At least 52MB of free hard disk space to install the software

and at least 150MB of free hard disk space for processing large

files

◗Macintosh Operating System 8.5.1 or later

◗CD-ROM drive

◗Serial, Ethernet, or USB connection to the printer. The

USB connection can be either a built-in USB port or the

EPSON USB Adapter kit (part number C-USB-PK4).

To set up a Macintosh as a client on a network using the

EPSON Stylus RIP, your system must have the following

minimum configuration:

◗Macintosh Centris,

®Macintosh Quadra,

®Performa,

®Power

Macintosh, iMac series, or Power Macintosh G3 or G4

series

◗Ethernet™AppleTalk®connection with the Macintosh set

up as the EPSON Stylus RIP print server

◗8MB RAM

◗

At least 2MB of free hard disk space to install the software and

at least 150MB of free hard disk space for processing large files

◗Macintosh Operating System 7.6.1 or later

◗CD-ROM drive

Nflight.bk Page 3 Friday, September 1, 2000 8:32 AM

Introduction

Windows System Requirements

To use the EPSON Stylus RIP in either a standalone or

peer-to-peer network environment, your system should include:

◗IBM®-compatible PC with 486 or higher processor

(Pentium®133 MHz or higher recommended)

◗Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows 2000 or

Windows NT 4.0

◗At least 16MB of RAM (32MB or more recommended)

◗At least 50MB of free hard disk space to install the software

and at least 150MB of free hard disk space for processing

files (more for large files)

◗CD-ROM drive

◗An available parallel port configured as LPT1

You can print with the EPSON Stylus RIP on a peer-to-peer

Windows network by using file sharing, with the printer

connected to the print server’s parallel port. In this networked

environment, you install the EPSON Stylus RIP software on

the print server only. Users printing from applications on client

computers need to direct their PostScript output to a file on the

shared folder on the print server. See page 3-5 for instructions.

How To Use Your Manuals

Before you install the RIP, make sure you set up your printer

and install the standard EPSON non-PostScript driver that

came with your printer, following the instructions in your

printer’s documentation. Also, refer to your EPSON printer’s

documentation for instructions on using and maintaining your

printer.
