Introduction

The EPSON® StylusRIP™ software lets you turn your EPSON

Stylus®ink jet printer into a Level 2 PostScript®printer. It

reads the Adobe®Level 2 PostScript files you create on your

Apple®Macintosh,

®turns them into raster images, and prints

them on your printer.

Adobe PostScript is the industry standard for high-quality

graphic output. All the elements in a document—including

text, graphics, and other images—are processed andreproduced

using PostScript code. Then, when you print from an

application such as QuarkXPress,

™the StylusRIP software

creates a raster image from the PostScript code and sends it to

your printer.

EPSON StylusRIP includes a useful “drag and drop” function

that allows you to print just by clicking on a PostScript file icon

(.PS file) and dragging it to the StylusRIP software icon. You

can use StylusRIP with a standalone Macintosh or in a network

environment, as described later in this Introduction.

Introduction

Special Features

To take maximum advantage of your EPSON Stylus printer’s

photo-quality output, the StylusRIP software includes these

special features:

◗EPSON error diffusion software, the same high-quality

AcuPhoto™halftoning technology used in EPSON’s

non-PostScript printer drivers

◗PANTONE®professional color palette files—calibrated

for EPSON Stylus printers using various media at various

resolutions—to give you process versions of PANTONE

colors when you use PANTONE-licensed applications

◗ColorSync™2.0 support through International Color

Consortium (ICC) profiles, providing total ICC and

ColorSync compatibility for software applications

Introduction

Macintosh System Requirements

To use the StylusRIP software with a Macintosh in either a

standalone or network environment, your system should

include:

◗Centris, Quadra, Power Macintosh,

™or Performa series

Macintosh (standalone only)

◗PowerPC™or 68040 CPU

◗At least 16MB of RAM for the StylusRIP software (20MB

or more is recommended), in addition to the RAM needed

by your operating system and other applications

◗At least 8MB of free hard disk space to install the software

and at least 150MB of free hard disk space for processing

large files

◗Macintosh Operating System 7.5 or later

◗CD-ROM drive

Note:

You cannot use a Performa series Macintosh computer with a

CD-ROM drive as a print server.

To set up a Macintosh as a client on a network using StylusRIP,

it must have the following minimum configuration:

◗Centris, Quadra, Power Macintosh, or Performa series

Macintosh

◗LocalTalk™or Ethernet™connection with the Macintosh

set up as the StylusRIP print server

◗Macintosh Operating System 7.5 or later

Introduction

Standalone and Network

Environments

If your Macintosh is not connected to a network, you are using

it as a “standalone” system, with your EPSON Stylus printer

directly connected to your system. Before you install the

StylusRIP software, you must set up your printer and test it

fully; see Chapter 1 for complete instructions.

IfyourMacintosh is connected inanetwork, there are twoways

to use the StylusRIP software, depending on how your network

is configured.

Note:

It is best to choose a Power Macintosh with a fast processor and

ample RAM as your print server, allowing you to devote its

resources to printing the data sent over the network. LocalTalk

networks are not recommended for use with EPSON printers.

In a “direct connection” configuration (as shown below), the

Macintosh that is connected to the printer acts as the print server,

with the StylusRIP Server software installed on it. The other

computers in the network are “clients” of the server, with the

StylusRIP client software installed on them.

serial cable

printer print server

clients

intro.fm5 Page 4 Thursday, June 5, 1997 10:39 AM

Introduction

In the direct connection configuration, the client

Macintosh sends a print job to the print server, which puts

the job in a print queue and then sends it to the printer.

This speeds up transmission of the job because it is sent

over the network only once.

◗In a “typical” network configuration, the print server and

client Macintosh computers are all connected to the printer

via an optional interface card, with the StylusRIP software

(server or client version) installed on all the computers.

In a typical configuration, the print job is sent over the

network twice before it is printed: once from the client to

the printer server and once from the printer server to the

printer.

Note:

You may experience problems if you have more than one printer on

the network in a “mixed” configuration. For example, if you have

one EPSON Stylus printer connected to a serial port and set up as

remote only and another connected via a network interface card on

the same network, you cannot set the network/AppleTalk®control

panel for remote only and Ethernet at the same time.
