Menus
You may access a number of RIP Software’s functions using the menus at the top of the main window.
File Menu
The File menu allows you to add a job, save a job as a native format, send, pause, or abort a job or stop the process by exiting.
Add Job
The Add Job command allows you to add a job directly to the Print Monitor.
To Add a Job
1.From the File menu select Add Job. The Add Job dialog box displays.
2.From the Add Job dialog select the job you would like to add.
3.Click Open. The job is added to the printer queue.
Job Properties
Job Properties can be accessed from within Roland ColorChoice and are settings associated with a particular job. The Job Properties come from either the Printing Properties set in client, or the Setup Properties set in RIP Software. Within Job Properties you may preview the job by selecting Page Preview, Layout Preview or No Preview (Macintosh only). Page Preview displays the image of the job. Layout Preview displays the job relative to the output media. (See the Job Properties General Tab section for additional details).
To View/Change the Job Properties
1.Select the job in the Print Monitor.
2.From File menu select Job Properties.
Save As
The Save As command allows you to save an image into native file formats. Once a job has been printed, you may want to save the RIPed file so that you can reprint it without having to RIP the file again. Saving a file as Native format, with a .PRT extension, allows you to save RIPed files for reprinting.
To Save a Job into a Native Format
1.Click on the job you would like to save into a native format.
2.From the File menu select Save As.
3.Select the destination folder and the file name.
4.Click Save.
Send
Once jobs are in the Print Monitor, you can select individual jobs or groups of jobs for printing. When selecting a group of jobs, they are printed in the order that they appear in the queue.
To Send a Job to Print
