/ Introduction The EPSON® StylusRIP™ software lets you turn your EPSON Stylus® ink jet printer into a Level 2 PostScript® printer. It reads the Adobe® Level 2 PostScript files you create on your Apple® Macintosh,® turns them into raster images, and prints them on your printer. Adobe PostScript is the industry standard for high-quality graphic output. All the elements in a document-including text, graphics, and other images-are processed and reproduced using PostScript code. Then, when you print from an application such as QuarkXPress™ , the StylusRIP software creates a raster image from the PostScript code and sends it to your printer. EPSON StylusRIP includes a useful "drag and drop" function that allows you to print just by clicking on a PostScript file icon (.PS file) and dragging it to the StylusRIP software icon. You can use StylusRIP with a standalone Macintosh or in a network environment, as described later in this Introduction. 1

Introduction
The
EPSON
®
StylusRIP
™
software lets you turn your
EPSON
Stylus
®
ink jet printer into a Level 2 PostScript
®
printer. It
reads the Adobe
®
Level 2 PostScript files you create on your
Apple
®
Macintosh,
®
turns them into raster images, and prints
them on your printer.
Adobe PostScript is the industry standard for high-quality
graphic output. All the elements in a document—including
text, graphics, and other images—are processed and reproduced
using PostScript code. Then, when you print from an
application such as QuarkXPress,
™
the StylusRIP software
creates a raster image from the PostScript code and sends it to
your printer.
EPSON
StylusRIP includes a useful “drag and drop” function
that allows you to print just by clicking on a PostScript file icon
(.PS file) and dragging it to the StylusRIP software icon. You
can use StylusRIP with a standalone Macintosh or in a network
environment, as described later in this Introduction.
