Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

RIP Configuration
If your Veripress install requires proofing RIP data, a RIP setup will need to be configured to poll the RIP jobs for
processing.
1. Select RIP from the data types list in the Workbench and create a new
RIP by selecting File menu > New.
2. A warning message will appear. Dismiss the message.
3. The RIP name “Untitled” will appear in the item list, highlighted for
renaming. Rename and select the item.
4. In the Driver panel of the gray configuration area, select the appropriate
RIP driver for the CTP RIP input from the dropdown list of licensed
drivers.
5. Configure the RIP driver options by enabling checkbox options and/or
choosing Custom Settings by clicking the Edit button.
6. Tick the Enable Polling checkbox in the Polling panel and enter a poll interval time, for example, 2 minutes.
Note: Some RIP drivers and polling methods require the use of a Job Genie in order for the Veripress RIP setup to
recognise incoming RIPped files. See the Workbench > Job Genie section of this manual for further details. Also, refer to
the Support section of the Serendipity Software website for tutorials on creating your own customised Job Genies.
7. Choose the method the RIP setup will use to connect to the RIP output folder from the dropdown menu in the
Polling panel, for example, Localhost. Enter any Hostname/IP details if required.
8. Enter the file path to the RIP folder in the Paths panel. To enter a path, click the New button below the panel.
Click Browse on the popup window and navigate to the RIP folder to be polled. Click OK to save the path.
9. If required, setup Stripe Paths.
10. Click the Test button at the bottom of the Testing panel to Save and Test the RIP setup. The Testing panel will
show a Polling OK result to confirm the RIP path is valid. Alternate messages will notify you if the RIP path is
invalid, or if no RIPped files currently exist in the selected folder.
This completes the basic configuration of Veripress. For information on how to see polled RIP jobs and submit them for
proofing, see the Modules > RIP Monitor and Serendipity Client Menu Items > Submit Menu sections of this manual.
Monitoring Jobs – Configuration
Once the base configuration is complete for the Media, Output, Pagesetup and (optional) RIP, a monitoring application
needs to be configured so jobs can be managed throughout the system.
There are two (2) types available – the Jobs (default)or the Monitor application.
Jobs
This is the default application, launched when the Client is started for the
first time.
The Jobs application has a pre-­‐configured set of tabs available for
monitoring various processing throughout the entire workflow. The
default tab layout includes the QueueManager, Thumbnail and
QueueStatus modules. See the “Jobs” application section within this manual
for further information.
Any Outputs created in the earlier configuration will automatically appear
in the QueueManager module.
