Using the Stylus RIP Professional with Macintosh

Printer Driver Settings

You can make the following printer driver settings in the Print dialog box. To open this dialog box, click the File menu of the application that you are using, and then select Print. Alternatively, you can also press the COMMAND and P keys on the keyboard simultaneously to open this dialog box.

Once the dialog box appears, click the pop-up menu located below the Printer pop-up menu, and then select the printer-specific options setup page to display the settings for the selected printer.

Note:

The items that appear in the printer-specific options setup page vary according to the printer. Some of the following functions may not appear on your screen, depending on the selected printer.

Media Type

Specify the type of paper that you are using for printing and the print quality.

Resolution

Set the print resolution. Note that not all resolution settings can be selected, depending on the Media Type setting.

Ink

Specify whether to print in color or grayscale.

High Speed

Specify whether to use bi-directional printing. When bi-directional printing is turned on, the printing speed increases.

Super MicroWeave

Specify whether to turn the Super MicroWeave feature on for superior print quality.

Auto Cut

Specify whether roll paper is automatically cut after the document is printed. This setting is effective only if the optional Auto Cutter is installed.

Note:

(For EPSON Stylus Pro 4000 users)
You can choose from the following two options for automatic cutting: 1 cut and 2 cut.

Auto Rotate

Specify whether the print direction is automatically rotated depending on the width of the rolled paper set under the Paper Source setting. Turning this setting on helps to economize on the use of paper. Select the option with appropriate width value to turn this setting on.

Print Page Line

Specify whether to print page lines on the right side and bottom end of the document so that you can use them as guidelines when cutting the document manually.

RGB Simulation

Specify the color space of RGB colors to be simulated when printing RGB color data.

CMYK Simulation

Specify the ink colors to be simulated when printing CMYK color data.

Grayscale Control

Specify the type of data to be printed using only black ink when you are printing the gray part of color data.

Rendering Intent

Set the priorities for deciding which properties of a color specification to preserve and which to sacrifice. This function enables better color rendering within the practical limitations of the color reproduction capabilities of the printer.

The available options and their typical uses are as follows:
Perceptual: Scanned images
Relative colormetric: Vector graphics
Saturation: Business graphics
Absolute colormetric: Logos and solid colors that require exact reproduction across different media

Paper Source

Select the desired paper feed method from the pop-up menu.

Borderless

Specify whether to exclude printing a four-corner margin for single form paper, and left and right margins for rolled paper. To specify this setting, it is necessary to set a custom paper size.

Note:

Certain types of paper cannot be used for printing without margins. Check the manual supplied with the paper for information on the types of paper that can be used.

Check the printer manual for information on paper sizes that can be used for printing without margins.
