Before Using

Introduction

When using commercial software RIP (hereafter RIP) to print, you must register information about the media you are

using to both printers and RIP. How to register and do settings differs, as seen below, according to the required print

level.

For Simple Printing

You can easily register basic media information by selecting the media type according to the media you are using in

Easy Media Setup in the printer's settings menu. Simply setting the media type and the print mode in the RIP allows

you to print.

For the Optimal Printing on the Commercial Media You Are Using

Use the print settings files (hereafter EMX files) that Epson provides to register and do settings. EMX files are batched

files that contain the following information, most suitable for the media you are using.

❏Media setting values: Values for media settings (temperature of the heater, platen gap, etc.) that are registered to

the printer

❏Print information: Such setting information as resolution and the number of print passes and ICC profiles that are

read and used by the RIP

Download and import EMX files with the Epson software, Epson Control Dashboard.

In this manual we explain the basic procedures for RIP printing that uses EMX files. Also see the supplemental manual,

Printing with WH/MS, Matching Specific Colors (PDF) when printing with the SC-S80600 Series using White/Metallic

Silver ink.

What to Prepare

Software RIP (Commercially Available)

Use a RIP that can be used with your printer. You can check the latest information about compatible RIP on the

Software Available List (https://bizijdevelopers.ebz.epson.net/rip/list/).

Epson Control Dashboard (Dashboard)

Use the Dashboard when importing setting information for the printer or RIP, or when downloading EMX files.

You can install the latest software from the Setup Navi (http://epson.sn).

Epson Manual for RIP Printing (ONYX RIP)

Introduction

Important:

Install the RIP and Dashboard on a computer that satisfies the following conditions.

❏It can connect to the internet.You will not be able to download EMX filesif your computer cannot connect to

the internet.

❏There is enough space to install both the RIP and Dashboard. Separate computers cannot link correctly.

Print Data

We recommend PDF (PDF/X-1a standard or PDF/X-4 equivalent) for the following points.

❏Links to images do not break and the layout does not get corrupted.

❏Text does not need to be outlined.

❏There is no difference in appearance even if the version of the image processing software is different.

See the manual for the image processing software (Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, etc.) you are using for how to

put print data into PDF format.

Workflow

These preparations for printing are done when printing on media for the first time or printing on new media. They do

not need to be done every day for all print jobs.

* The procedure may differ depending on the RIP you are using.

Preparations for Printing

(1) On the Dashboard, download the EMX files for the media on which you are printing.

U“Downloading EMX Files” on page 7

(2) Register the values of the media settings to the printer on the Dashboard.

U“Registering the Media Setting Values to the Printer” on page 11

(3) Load the media for printing in the printer and do Media Adjust.

Be sure to correctly load the media for printing and do Media Adjust in the printer's settings menu.

See Operator's Guide (booklet/online manual) for details about the procedure.

(4) Install the RIP and import print information from the EMX files to the RIP.

U“Doing Initial Settings for the RIP and Importing Print Information” on page 14

(5) Create a print mode that is often used with the RIP.

U“Creating Print Modes Often Used with the RIP” on page 21

Print Jobs

If you are printing as a continuation of the preparations for printing, you do not need to do step (1).

(1) Load media in the printer and select the media setting number.

Correctly load the media and select the media setting number that has been registered to the printer.

See Operator's Guide (booklet/online manual) for details about the procedure.

(2) Read the print data to the RIP, and then print it.

Introduction

Preparations for Printing

Downloading EMX Files

In this section we explain the procedures for downloading the EMX files for the print media with the Dashboard.

EMX files differ for each model, even when they are for the same media. If you are using multiple printer models,

download the EMX files that are specific to each model.

If you have finished registering your printer on the Dashboard, start from step 3.

Start the Dashboard. Select the tab for registering printers, and then click Search.

Any unregistered printers that are connected to the network or that are connected by USB to your computer are

displayed.

Preparations for Printing

Note:

The Status of the EMX files is indicated below.

❏Not Acquired:

These are EMX files that have never been downloaded before.

❏Acquisition Complete:

These are EMX files that have been downloaded and have not changed since they were downloaded.

❏Update Available:

These are EMX files that were changed after they were downloaded. Downloading them overwrites the EMX files

that have already been downloaded.

If you need several EMX files repeat steps 6 through 7 to download them one at a time.

Click Close.

The EMX files are imported and the list of source media settings is displayed. You cannot click Close while

downloading EMX files. Wait until the button becomes enabled.

Next, register the media setting values to the printer.

U“Registering the Media Setting Values to the Printer” on page 11

Important:

Be sure to register the media setting values to the printer in advance. The RIP checks the media settings registered

to the printer. You cannot use the function for automatically importing print information from the EMX files.
