Embed all images Toggle this on if you want to embed all 1–bit, 8–bit and native images. If the
box is not checked, then only images with uncompressed image data smaller than 640 kB will be
embedded.
Optimize DCS LineWork Without linework DCS optimization, the result after conversion of linework
DCS files can be difficult to edit afterwards. However it will be correct when viewed in extended
preview or RIPped. 'Optimize DCS Linework' will do an additional operation to combine the elements
on each DCS plate to a composite and a more editable result.
Search Preconverted Files This option forces the system to look for the GRx, CT or LP equivalent
for the original EPS file. If this equivalent is not found, it will use the EPS instead.
Link External Images (OPI, DCS, Helios, ...) Force the system to look for referenced images.
Fail if not Found Activate this option if you do NOT want the system to continue importing /
normalizing your PostScript file when it cannot find an image. When this option is not activated the
imported (E)PS file will appear on screen but without the missing images.
Images Determines how images are treated when the task is run:
• Use Most Recent: forces the system to use the existing images of a previous conversion of the
same job.
• Reconvert: forces the system to regenerate the images on-the fly.
Use Masks Available in the list are:
• PS Mask: Forces the system to take the PS mask present in the EPF file. The mask available in
the external image is discarded. If no PS mask is present in the file, no mask will be taken.
