Introduction The EPSON Stylus® RIP software lets you use your EPSON Stylus COLOR or EPSON Stylus Photo ink jet printer as a PostScript® 3 (Macintosh® and Windows NT®) and Level 2 (Windows® 95/98) compatible printer. It reads the Adobe® PostScript files automatically created by the EPSON Stylus RIP printer driver, seamlessly converts them into raster images, and automatically prints them on your printer. You can use the EPSON Stylus RIP with both Macintosh and Windows systems, in standalone or networked configurations. 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 RIP software creates a raster image from the PostScript code and sends it to your printer. Do You Need PostScript? In many cases, you may not need the ability to print in PostScript, and for these occasions you should use the standard, non-PostScript driver that comes with your printer. Using the standard driver is also a good way to ensure that your computer and printer are connected and working properly, so make sure you install the non-PostScript EPSON driver following the instructions in your printer’s setup guide. 1
