Getting Started
Once installed, Roland COLORCHOICE RIP Software automatically starts each time you start your computer. The Print Monitor
displays when you double-click the Roland COLORCHOICE RIP Software Icon located in the lower right corner of your screen.
You can control every facet of job management from the Print Monitor. The Print Monitor is essentially a queue, listing all the files
that are waiting to be printed.
Jobs appear in the queue in the order that they were received. For each job, the following information is displayed:
• Job Name - the name of the file, including any extensions.
• Status - the current status of the job, either Holding, RIPing, or Printing.
• Copies - the number of copies to be printed.
• Media - the media on which the job will be printed.
• File Type - the file type of the selected job.
Outputting a Test File
To insure that your software is properly installed and that a connection to the printer is established, select Setup>Test Print or Test
Cut. When you do this a small test file is sent to the Print Monitor and then processed. Once you’ve successfully generated a test
file, be sure to read the rest of this document to learn about other features.
Working with Setup Properties
Setup Properties are the default print settings for your printer. To view them, click Setup Properties from the Setup menu of the
Print Monitor. The Setup Properties dialog opens with the General tab selected.
