User`s guide

Output To:

In this drop-down, you can select the proper output queue.

Output queues are created at install-time (or manually by the

user). The output queue is simply a printer entity which is used

for PowerRIP to send data to the printer. The output queue you

select should be outputting to the port that the selected printer is

connected to. To view/configure the output queues, click the

“Outputs” button on the main PowerRIP dialog window.

Job Priority

The priority slide-control allows you to set the priority of

the job(s). The range is 1 thru 99 (just like Windows) where 1 is

lowest and 99 is highest priority. You can slide the handle on the

slide control to change the priority or enter the priority number

desired in the text box to the right.

Use Settings Specified at Print Time checkbox

When this control is checked, the job settings will be

controlled by the options the user selected when the job was

printed from the application. If the box is un-checked, it allows

the user to select the printing options and override the settings

used at print time. When this control is checked, the “Output

Configuration” and “Default Settings” buttons are disabled.

Specify Settings

This button is only active if “Use Settings Specified at

Print Time” is NOT checked. Clicking this button will display

the device-specific configuration options. These options will

vary between output devices. See the “Specifying Job Settings”

section later in this chapter

Default Settings

This button is only active if “Use Settings Specified at

Print Time” is NOT checked. Clicking this button will load the

pre-defined defaults for the selected printer (usually plain paper

at low-resolution)

Apply Custom Calibration

When this button is checked, custom cablibration will be

used. To define the density calibration curves to use, click the

“Adjust Custom Calibration” button. This will launch the “Q-

Curve” application which enables you to define the density

curves. See chapter 6

Adjust Custom Calibration

Clicking this button will launch the “Q-Curve” application

which enables you to define the density curves. Each color

channel can be adjusted individually. See Chapter 6
