RIP User Tools Defined

RIP user tools are files that contain instructions written in PostScript
language. They provide an alternate method for controlling your Select-
Set Avantra imagesetter. To pass these instructions to the imagesetter,
you download them to your RIP.
For more information, refer to the documentation that comes with your
Agfa RIP. These manuals describe procedures for downloading RIP user
tools and they list other tools you can use with the SelectSet Avantra.

RIP Tools Match Control Panel Functions

RIP user tools enable you to change parameters and perform functions
that are also controlled at the imagesetter control panel.
For example, the tools CENTDS and CENTEN perform the same func-
tion as the Autocentering button in the Configuration Screen. The
same parameter can be changed from two different places. If one oper-
ator changes a parameter at the imagesetter and another operator
changes the same parameter by downloading a tool, the output from
your imagesetter could show unanticipated results.
Use RIP tools carefully. Remember that many control panel functions
can also be performed by using RIP tools. Set up guidelines in your
shop to ensure that, as operators change imagesetter parameters,
everyone using the system is notified.
