HP RIP Software - HP RIP Software User Guide

Installation 1-13
• Tree Pane — shows all of the components of the server, such as
the ports, queues, process, and output device, plus the message
folders. Click any component to view details or change its configu-
ration.
• Detail Pane — shows status and configuration options for the
selected system components. Most screens include Related Tasks
links that take you directly to related tasks.
• Status Bar — shows the current status of key system compo-
nents: gray for normal/inactive, green for receiving a print job, red
for error. You can also click any of these buttons to display the cur-
rent status of the component.
• About Box — includes a button to display the About box (details
about the software) and a button that links to the Technical Ser-
vices Internet home page.
• Drag and Drop — the interface features drag-and-drop simplicity
for reprioritizing, deleting, or moving print jobs.
• Function keys — in the tree pane, you can use the Insert and
Delete keys on your computer keyboard to add and delete servers
and ports, and to delete jobs from queues.
Note You can control multiple RIPs from a single browser inter-
face. With either the top level of the tree or a server name
highlighted in the tree, press the Insert key on the com-
puter keyboard, and enter the name of a RIP server (for
example, myserver2). This adds the second server to the
tree, where it can be selected the same way as the first
server.
For best performance, do not use the computer that is running the RIP
software for anything else. If you try to browse the Internet in the same
window or tab as the RIP while the RIP console is running, the following
message appears:
Are you sure you want to navigate away from this page?
Local work in progress will be lost.
RIPing and printing on the remote server will continue.
Press OK to continue
If the RIP console (interface) gets out-of-sync from the RIP itself,
refresh or restart the browser. A dropped network connection or IP
address change will cause the browser to get out of sync with the RIP.
