Create the printer entity

Now that we have the hot folder configured, lets create a

print manager entity wich, when printed to, will deposit

PostScript files into this newly created folder.

If not already opened, open the “Configure Inputs” dialog

by clicking the “Inputs” button on the main dialog. Click the

“Configure PowerRIP Printer Entities” tab. The dialog will

appear

Click Add. A dialog will appear asking you for the name of

the new printer entity. Type “Epson1290Halftones” without the

quotes and click OK.

The new entity name will be added to the list and you will

be returned to the Configure PowerRIP Printer Entities in edit

mode. You will notice that the button formerly named “Add”

now reads “Cancel Add” you can click this button at any time to

cancel the add operation.

Go to the “Output Folder” section and click on the “...”

button to navigate to our hot folder.

Navigate to the hot folder we created during the hot-folder

setup phase and click OK. This instructs the new printer entity to

deposit its PostScript files into this folder. Your dialog should

now look like this:

Next we’re going to select the printer driver to use. Since

we’re going to be ripping jobs to the Epson 1290, we need to use

that driver. Note: The driver is really the same for all of

PowerRIP’s devices (Windows PostScript driver version 5) what

differentiates the different drivers on the list is the PPD that is

used... and it is very important to use the right PPD.

Click the “Driver” drop-list and select “PowerRIP Stylus

Photo 1290”. It is imperative that the driver you use has the

“PowerRIP” prefix. You CANNOT use any other drivers.
