File Transfer Priority
This specifies the priority to be used for transferring files from the RIP to Veripress. You can adjust from Lowest to
Highest or anywhere in between.
Sometimes a high priority can affect the RIP performance, especially on older RIPs. This can cause problems, such as
RIPs pausing. If this happens, reduce the priority level.
Paths
Specify the paths to the RIPped files residing on your RIP. This may be a single path or multiple paths and can be made
up of striped paths. The path structure is dependent upon the RIP driver selected. The options available are detailed
below.
• New – Adds a new path or stripe path to the Paths field. Selecting this displays another window to type the
path or browse to locate the folder containing the jobs. Browse will only work if the connection method has
been specified and is valid.
• Delete – Deletes the selected paths.
• Delete All – Deletes all paths from the list.
Most RIP drivers use recursive polling, i.e., they will poll down the directory structure into sub directories from the top-­level
directory specified in the path. The more sub directories to be searched, the longer it takes. Specify the path as
close as possible to your files for quicker results.
Stripe Paths
Some RIPs place jobs on different drives, but in the same location. They can add more drives to a RIP, giving it a new
mount point, for e.g., E:/RIPJobs, F:/RIPJobs and G:/RIPJobs. These all have a common path of RIPJobs, but are “striped”
across 3 drives, therefore specify the drives (E:, F: and G:) in the Stripe Paths and the path (/RIPJobs) in Paths.
Note: This is important for RIPs sharing plates from single jobs across multiple drives, for e.g., Cyan & Magenta on E
drive and Yellow & Black of the same job on F drive. If this is not setup as a stripe, the plates will not be stitched
together.
AutoProofing
Jobs can be submitted manually from the RIPMonitor as desired. Alternatively, you can configure the RIP to have jobs
submitted automatically via the AutoProof facility. This way any new job that appears, if stable and meets the specified
criteria, will be submitted for processing. The options available are listed below.
• Enable AutoProofing – Turns AutoProofing on or off.
• Printing – Specifies how the jobs are to be printed. Options are:
o Copies – Specify the number of copies to be printed. Default is 0.
o Use Pagesetup – Print to the selected Pagesetup.
o Choose – Select an existing Pagesetup or create a new one if necessary.
Criteria
You can select certain conditions that must exist before a job is automatically submitted. The options are:
• Delay (seconds) – The length of time to wait to see if a job changes prior to submitting. A job may change as
other plates are RIPped and added to the job. A suitable amount of time needs to be specified in order to
ensure a complete job is submitted.
• Minimum Plate Count – Specify a certain number of plates that must exist before a job is submitted for
AutoProofing.
• Must Have – Select which process plates must exist in the job before AutoProofing.
• Filter – Select a filter to use for AutoProofing. See the Regular Expression section for further information on
Filters.
• Delete Jobs From RIP After AutoProofing – Delete jobs after a successful AutoProof. This is only available when
jobs are locally hosted (Localhost polling). This may be used when a temporary file is created, for example,
when adding halftone dots to unscreened data.
• Hold After Imaging – Places the job on hold in the Rendering queue after imaging has successfully completed.
• Hold After Rendering – Places the job in a held state in the Output queue after rendering has successfully
completed.
Job Filtering
This is only available when the RIP driver is set to poll imposition RIPs. You can specify if AutoProofing should be
carried out on All Jobs or just Imposed Jobs.
