Printing Jobs
Once jobs are in the Print Monitor, you can select individual jobs or groups of jobs for printing. When you select a group of jobs,
they are printed in the order that they appear in the queue.
1 Select the job or jobs that you want to print by selecting them in the Print Monitor window.
2 Click the Send button.
The job is RIPed and then printed. You also can click File>Send to RIP and print a job.
Pausing and Resuming Printing
When you print a job, the Roland COLORCHOICE 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 algorythmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s processing capacity. Larger files, in
terms of Megabytes, 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 is printing, you can use the Pause button to
stop and restart the printing process as often as you like.
1 Select the job that you want to pause by selecting it in the Print Monitor window.
2 Click the Pause button.
The printing is paused, and can be resumed by clicking the Pause button once again.
Aborting a Job
Although you cannot pause a job during the RIP process, you can abort the job altogether. Once a job is aborted, all RIP
information is lost and you must re-RIP the job.
1 Select the job that you want to abort by selecting it in the Print Monitor window. You only can abort jobs during the RIP
process.
2 Click the Abort a job button. You also can click File>Abort to abort a job during the RIP process.
