Version 5.3.02 - Serendipity Software

RIPMonitor
The RIPMonitor displays the RIPs that have been configured under the RIP section of the Workbench. Jobs that have
been successfully polled are displayed and can be expanded to show any associated plates. These jobs can then be
submitted to a Pagesetup/Media for processing.
View
• Toolbar – Contains job handling functions and
viewing options.
• Jobs – This is the large window to the right and
displays all successfully polled jobs from the selected
RIP.
• RIP List – A list of all the configured RIPs, allowing
the user to select each in turn to display any jobs.
This is on the left side of the window and can be
shown or hidden as desired. Active RIP queues are displayed in black; inactive are red.
• RIP Menu – This is a pull down list at the top of the window of RIPs configured and shows the current selection.
Hiding the RIP Menu will also hide the Polling On/Off drop down selector.
Note: If you only have one RIP configured it is better to hide the left RIP list and top RIP menu as there is nothing else to
display. This will provide more room to view your jobs.
Toolbar
• Expand/Collapse Jobs – Show/Hide the plates associated with the selected jobs. Double clicking a job will also
expand or collapse the plate view for the selected job.
• Submit – Submits the selected jobs for processing. This pops up a chooser to select which Pagesetups and
Medias to send the job to.
• Submit for De-­‐Imposition – Submits the jobs for de-­‐imposition. This pops up a choose to select which Signature
Group will be used to de-­‐impose the job and which Pagesetup/Media combination will be used.
• Submit As Imposition – Submits the job in it’s original form, but attaches a Signature Group via a popup
chooser to allow the job to be deimposed on-­‐the-­‐fly using the De-­‐Imposed Pages button in the Veripress
SoftProof Touch Console (See the “Touch Console” section for more information).
• VPress – Adds the selected jobs to the VirtualPress. For further information see the “VirtualPress” section.
Note: The text in the Submit, Submit for De-­‐Imposition, Submit as Imposition and VPress buttons will show in italics if
the job selected has unrecognised or unassigned plates. The plates will need to be assigned using VirtualPress.
• Group By Job – Keeps the plates in their respective job group when they are copied into the VirtualPress (see
below note).
Important Note: If you have multiple jobs selected for copying into VirtualPress, when this option is ticked they are
kept as their respective jobs. If this is un-­‐ticked, all the jobs and plates selected are copied in as one job. This is useful if
you are polling a RIP and the plates are shown as separate jobs, with one plate each.
• Poll – Initiates a manual poll of the selected RIP.
• Toggle RIP Polling – Turns the polling on or off for the selected RIP. When the RIP is in the off state, the name in
the RIP list turns red.
Note: The RIP jobs list is cached and may require clearing. To do this, turn the RIP off and on again and click on the Poll
button three (3) times consecutively.
• Show RIP Menu – Shows or hides the RIP pull down list at the top of the window.
• Show RIP List – Shows or hides the RIP list on the left.
