INTRODUCTION & INSTALLATION
The Birmy PowerRIP" application is a software raster image
processor (RIP) for the Macintosh computer. PowerRIP reads and
interprets Adobe™ Level 2 PostScript™ and prints color raster images on imaging
devices. Features include interpretation by the Adobe Configurable PostScript™
Interpreter (CPSI), print job spooling, support for multiple printers and multiple
users, printer selection using the Chooser desk accessory, and job logging and sav-
ing. PANTONE' Calibrated support files are also included. Optional features
include Open PrePress Interface (OPI) substitution and spoken error messages.

Operational Overview

PowerRIP works on a stand-alone Macintosh or a non-dedicated or dedicated
Macintosh PowerRIP server if more than one Macintosh is to access PowerRIp
The imaging device is connected to the PowerRIP server, and at least one PowerRIP
printer is defined for the imaging device. The PowerRIP server is the Macintosh
running the PowerRIP application.
To print to an EPSON Stylus managed by PowerRIP, you must first launch Power-
RIP and create and open at least one PowerRIP printer.
Once opened, the PowerRIP printer appears as a PSPrinter in the Chooser dialog
displayed on a PowerRIP client. A PowerRIP client can be any Macintosh
networked to the PowerRIP server. You may select any PowerRIP printer in the
Chooser list as the current printer. You can then print to the PowerRIP printer
normally, simply by selecting the Print command in your application.
Ah PowerRIP printers are closed when PowerRIP quits. You must open the Power-
RIP printer that you want after you start the PowerRIP application.
Printing from a PowerRIP server requires that you add a job file to the appropriate
printer file. You can create a new job file by choosing the File destination option in
the LaserWriter Print dialog and selecting the destination folder to be the jobs
folder. Alternately, you can copy a previously saved job file to the jobs folder using
the Finder. Never print directly to a PowerRIP printer from a PowerRIP server.
PANTONE@ Color Support
PANTONE palette files are included in your PowerRIP package. These files can be
read directly into PANTONE-licensed applications so the user will have calibrated
versions of Pantone colors. User instructions are included on the PANTONE disk.
ColorSync™ 2.0 Support
Disk 5 of the installer disks contains the ICC profiles required by ColorSync 2.0.
Use these profiles in applications that support ColorSynch 2.0. See page 13.
