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 the user to add a job, save a job as a different format, send, pause, or abort a job or stop the process by exiting. The following chart defines each of these options:
Add Job
The Add a 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 path of 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 Server. To change the Job Properties, select Job Properties from the File menu. 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).
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
1.Click on the job or jobs you would like to print.
2.From the File Menu select Send to RIP.
Abort
Although a job cannot be paused during the RIP process, the job can be aborted. After aborting a job, all RIP’ed information is lost and the process must start again.
To Abort a Print Job
1.Click on the job you would like to abort.
2.From the File Menu select Abort.
Exit/Quit
The Exit/Quit command ends the program and closes the Print Monitor window.

The Edit menu allows the user to select all files, delete a file, and change preferences.
