Operational Overview

The following is an explanation of how a page is pro-

cessed by

PowerRIP.

The Windows Printer Drivers

supply the printer with codes that are needed to image a

page. PostScript is a coding method that is the standard

for high quality graphic output. When using the

PowerRlP

Windows printer drivers, PostScript code is

sent by Windows Applications, like PageMaker, to

PowerRlP

which processes it into a high resolution

image and sends that image to the printer.

PowerRlP

processes PostScript code and drives the

EPSON Stylus series printer. Text,

EPS,

tiffs and applica-

tions files must be sent to

PowerRIP

through applica-

tions, like

Pagemaker,

using the

PowerRlP

PostScript

Driver in Windows when printing.

How

PowerRIP

works

On Windows

3.11

and

95,

Windows prints a file to the

C:\BIRMY

directory.

PowerRlP

scans this directory for

files and processes the files into an image that is then

sent out the

LPT

port to the printer.

PowerRlP

must be minimized in order to scan.

On Windows NT,

PowerRIP

is set up so the Windows

Print Manager creates a file in

C:\BIRMY

instead of the

LPT

port.

PowerRlP

scans this directory

for files to process. After processing,

PowerRlP

sends

the bitmap image it created to the

LPT

port or

LPT

queue.

Note: If

PowerRlP

is not installed on the

drive then it

will scan the drive letter you installed it on.

2Birmy

Graphics Corporation

PANTONE

professional color palette files are included in

your

PowerRlP

package. These files can be read directly

into commonly used applications so the user can have

printer calibrated versions of all

PANTONE

Colors for the

EPSON Stylus Pro and Pro XL models.

The file is a self-extracting zip file. Just copy it to any

desired directory and type

Epalete

-d

from the DOS

prompt and it will extract itself and make its own

subdirectories. Remember to use the

-d

after

Epalete

the subdirectories will not extract correctly.

See the

readme

file on the

PANTONE

disk for use with

your application. This is also a self-extracting

3MB

file.

Copy this to your hard disk and type

Readme

from the

DOS prompt, then open the file it created called

PANTONE.WRI

with the Windows

Write

program.
