About the Downloader Utility

Use the Downloader Utility to download the following types of files:

EPS files to be printed

TIFF files to be printed

JPEG files to be printed

PostScript files to be printed

Kodak Photo CD files to be printed

PostScript Type 1 and TrueType fonts to be saved on the RIP.

Downloading files saves you the time of importing the file into an application and then printing it. Downloading also prints the file faster than an application could by avoiding the processing over- head of the PostScript language.

Downloading fonts saves time because the server does not need to wait for the fonts to be downloaded with every print job. You can download printer fonts only, not screen fonts or font suit- cases.

The Downloader Utility runs in the background. This allows you to continue working on your Macintosh while files are being downloaded. You can even select a different output device in the Chooser and download other files using the Downloader Utility while continuing to download the first set of files.
