Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

Publishing a Pagesetup on Windows 7
Veripress Pagesetup’s can be set up as Windows system printer destinations to allow jobs to be easily submitted via the
Print option of third party software or design packages.
Jobs printed to a Published Pagesetup will be automatically sent for processing and colour management in Veripress,
eliminating the need for dropfolders or manual file submission.
Note: Jobs output via Veripress in this way must be in a file input format available to your Veripress version.
Megarip Printer Driver
The first step before proceeding is to enable access to the Megarip.inf driver file. The Megarip printer driver is a
proprietary Serendipity Software driver that Windows will use as the printer driver.
The file is located on the Serendipity Veripress installation DVD in the following directory:
/drivers/win/win_xp_vista_7/
Configuring the Pagesetup for Publishing as a System Printer
To configure a calibrated Pagesetup for Publishing:
• In the Workbench, select the Pagesetup from the list of available data
types.
• Go to the Publish panel and enable the checkbox for TCP Port: Activate
port number option.
• Enter the TCP port number into the field and Save the Pagesetup.
Port Numbers
It is recommended that the port number assigned to a Pagesetup be a port over 10000 to avoid any conflict with the
operating system or an existing application. Each Pagesetup to be published needs its own unique port number, for
example, 10200, 10201, etc.
Media
When submitting jobs to a Published Pagesetup, the default Media assigned to the Pagesetup is used. If you wish to
publish to different media on the same printer, each Media required needs to be assigned to its own Pagesetup, with its
own unique port number.
