Quick Setup Guide

EPSON StylusRIP™gives you the power of PostScript®on your

EPSON Stylus®printer. To get the most out of your printer,

you have to know when to use StylusRIP—and when to use the

standard EPSON driver instead.

Here’s what to use StylusRIP for:

◗Printing placed EPS or JPEG files

◗Printing color separations

◗Printing from complex PostScript-based drawing and

publishing applications like CorelDRAW,™

Adobe®Illustrator,®and QuarkXPress.®

◗Matching PANTONE®spot colors (not available for the

EPSON Stylus Photo)

For all other printing applications, use the standard EPSONdriver

that came with your printer.

This card gives you the basic steps for setting up and using

StylusRIP. For more detailed information, see your EPSON

StylusRIP User’s Guide.

Installing StylusRIP

Before you install the StylusRIP software, make sure you set up

your printer correctly and install the standard EPSON driver,

following the instructions that came with the printer. Try

printing from WordPad or Notepad to make sure everything

works correctly.

Then follow these steps:

1. Insert the StylusRIP diskette and CD-ROM in the

appropriate drives.

2. Run the Setup.exe program located on the diskette.

3. Install the Adobe PostScript printer driver located on the

CD-ROM.

Run the Setup.exe program in the \Drivers\USA folder

on the CD-ROM. Follow the instructions on the screen to

install the driver. Make sure you choose FILE as the printer

port and set the PostScript driver as your default printer

driver. When the program asks if you want to print a test

page, make sure you choose No.

4. Make sure your printer is turned on and connected to your

LPT1 port.

5. Run the Update.exe program on the diskette.

6. When the update is complete, turn off your printer.

Remove the CD-ROM and diskette from your computer.

7. Attach the PostScript logo sticker to the top of your

printer.

8. Turn your printer back on. It is now licensed and enabled

as a PostScript printer.

Printing With StylusRIP

Once StylusRIP is installed on your computer and your printer

is updated, you can print a test file to make sure everything is

working correctly. Printing from StylusRIP is a two-step

process: first you print to a PostScript file from your

application, then StylusRIP processes your file and sends it to

your printer.

Follow these steps to print:

1. Start the StylusRIP software.

2. Open an application and print a PostScript document. For

informationabout setting print options,see your StylusRIP

User’s Guide.

You see a Print to file dialog box.

3. Make sure you navigate and select this folder for your print

file: C:\Program Files\StylusRIP\tmp. Otherwise,

StylusRIP won’t be able to process your file.

4. Type a name for your print file with the .ps extension. You

must use this extension for StylusRIP to work.

After you create your print file, StylusRIP processes it and

sends it to your printer. See your User’s Guide for

information about managing print jobs, configuring

StylusRIP, and printing on a network.
