HP 500ps manual Save As, Send, Pause

Save As

The Save As command allows you to save an image into different 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.

1.Click on the job you would like to save into a different format.

2.From the File Menu select Save As.

3.From the Save as type drop-down box, select the file type you would like to save the document as.

Pause

When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for Raster Image Processor, is a process that converts the selected file into a series of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected media. RIPing involves a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP than smaller files. The nature of the RIP process makes it impossible to pause and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you from pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and has begun printing, you can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing process as often as desired.

To Pause a Print Job

1.Click on the job you would like to pause.

2.From the File Menu select Pause.

To resume a printing Job

§Click on the paused print job. Click the Pause button again (Resume) to resume the printing process.
