Setup Name

The setup name displays the name of your printer.

Media

Name

Displays the name of the media type.

Width/Height

Accepts direct entry of the job’s width or height. When one aspect is altered the other is

automatically updated to keep the job proportionally correct.

Max Height

Indicates the maximum height that can be printed.

Margin

Displays the margins from the edges of the media. Margins are the areas on the edges of

the media where nothing will print.

PC Ports

Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you

physically change the port to which your printer is connected. Ports may be found on the

General within Windows.

Parallel Ports (LPT ports) (PC Only)

Parallel Ports are probably the most common method of sending data to output

devices. Devices connected to a Parallel Port are connected directly to the RIP

Software Server computer with a Parallel cable. There are several print modes

available to Parallel Ports. The most common Parallel Port modes are Standard

and ECP. The mode defines the method of communication between your

computer and your output device. Typically, you set the communication mode for

the Parallel Port in your computer BIOS. To find out how to access your

computer's BIOS and change the port setting, consult the documentation that

came with your computer.

Note - Sharing the Parallel Port by plugging your output device in behind your

RIP Software Server key may cause slower output. We recommend using

separate Parallel Ports for your RIP Software Server key and your output device.

Standard or Centronics Mode

This is the traditional uni-directional communication. This mode should work with

all output devices, though print speed may be reduced because of its slow

transfer rate.

ECP Mode

(Extended Capability Port) is a fast bi-directional communication mode that is

supported by many newer output devices. ECP offers a fast data transfer rate to

support faster printing and higher DPI printing. To take advantage of ECP

communications you must have an output device that supports ECP mode, and a

Parallel Port on the computer that supports ECP mode.
