3 Installing EPSON Stylus RIP for Windows

This chapter provides instructions for installing the EPSON Stylus RIP software and accompanying PostScript driver on your Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows NT system. Even if you already have other PostScript printer drivers, you need to install AdobePS 4.2 (Windows 95, 98) or

5.0(NT 4), which are included on the EPSON Stylus RIP CD-ROM. AdobePS 4.2 and 5.0 provide several new features and greater support for many popular applications.

Here’s what you need to do to completely install EPSON Stylus RIP:

◗Check the printer’s setup and operation.

◗Install the EPSON Stylus RIP software on your computer.

◗Install the Adobe PostScript 4.2 or 5.0 driver, depending on your operating system.

◗If your applications use ICM (Image Color Matching) and you need this type of color matching, make sure the ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles are copied to the correct folder.

◗If you need to match PANTONE colors, be sure to read the instructions on the PANTONE PDF file, located at:

C:\Program Files\EPSON\PANTONE\<printer_name>\ CoatedPaper720\

Note:

If you’re planning to use the EPSON Stylus RIP on a peer-to-peer network, you need to install Stylus RIP on the print server only. However, you must install the Adobe PostScript driver and a PPD on all computers that will print to Stylus RIP.
