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 3-5for 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.
