The first three chapters contain information about what the Harlequin RIP does, and how to get it up and running on your machine.

Chapter 1, “Introduction to the Harlequin RIP”, gives a description of what the RIP

does and the kind of tasks for which you can use it. This chapter also gives a broad overview of the different versions of RIP that are available.

Chapter 2, “Running the Harlequin RIP”, describes your machine requirements, and

how to start up the Harlequin RIP once it is installed.

Chapter 3, “Getting Started with the Harlequin RIP”, describes the most fundamental

elements of the system. It shows you how to do useful work without learning a large number of new skills.

OEM Manual Harlequin PLUS Server RIP v9.0: June 2011

The next four chapters form a more comprehensive account of the software.

Chapter 4, “Harlequin RIP Output Methods”, introduces the different ways in which

the RIP can operate, and how you can get the best performance out of the software for the jobs you are running. The chapter moves from general principles to more specific examples of the best way to use the RIP.

Chapter 5, “Configuring Output Formats”, describes the flexibility the Harlequin RIP

provides for configuring the appearance of any printed page. The tools described in this chapter will be used on a regular basis, and are important for anyone who will make extensive use of the product.

Chapter 6, “Screening”, explains the control the Harlequin RIP gives you over screen-

ing techniques. This chapter includes a complete description of using Harlequin Precision Screening.

Chapter 7, “Configuring the RIP”, shows you how you can configure the Harlequin

RIP to give the best performance in your environment. You will probably want to experiment with the options described in this chapter, but once you are satisfied that the RIP is running as you want it, you will not need to alter them on a regular basis.

The later chapters of the manual deal with specific facilities that the Harlequin RIP offers, and may be used as reference.

Chapter 8, “Configuring Input”, describes the different ways in which you can send

postscript language code and other forms of job as input to the Harlequin RIP, either working on a stand-alone machine, or as part of a network.

Chapter 9, “Media Management”, gives you complete details of the media manage-

ment facilities available in the Harlequin RIP.

Chapter 10, “Simple Imposition”, provides details on how to use the imposition fea-

tures of the Harlequin RIP.

Chapter 11, “Fonts”, describes the use that the Harlequin RIP makes of fonts, the dif-

ferent font formats that are available, and the special built-in facilities that the RIP has to make handling fonts easy and more efficient.

Chapter 12, “Calibration”, discusses the ways in which the Harlequin RIP can help

you ensure accurate calibration of your output.

Chapter 13, “Color Separation”, describes the facilities the Harlequin RIP provides for

controlling the printing of individual colorants in both composite and separated output.

Appendix A, “Troubleshooting”, provides solutions to common problems that occur

when running the Harlequin RIP.

Appendix B, “Jobs Containing Color Management Data” describes how jobs and

images with attached color management data interact with related settings in the Harlequin RIP.

Appendix C, “Using Genlin” describes a utility program providing semi-automatic

measurement of calibration targets generated by the Harlequin RIP.

Lastly, the “Glossary” explains terminology used throughout the manual.

Assumptions

The Harlequin RIP runs in the Mac OS X environment. It is important that you are familiar with your version of Mac OS, at least to the level of using the Finder and a simple text editor or word processor such as SimpleText. If you are not, please refer to the appropriate Apple manuals, online Guides, or Help systems.

In complex installations, you may wish to send jobs between PCs, Macintosh computers, and computers running the UNIX operating system. This manual describes the details special to the Harlequin RIP, but not the fundamentals of networking connections and services. You are likely to require assistance from technical support staff for initial configuration and occasional maintenance of such installations.

Conventions

This manual uses some conventions to make it clear where you give keyboard commands or choose from the menus and dialog boxes, as described in the following sections.

The keyboard

You can execute many of the commands available in the Harlequin RIP either by using the mouse or by using a keyboard shortcut. This is a combination or sequence of key presses that executes a command without you having to choose a menu option with the mouse. Keyboard shortcuts for individual commands are discussed, in context, throughout the manual.

Shift

The Shift key is often used when selecting a group of objects from a list. For example, when selecting a group of files to print. It is also used in keyboard shortcuts and in some mouse actions.

The Command key is used in keyboard shortcuts and in some mouse actions. For example, you can often hold down Command while pressing another key or a mouse button. Whenever this manual describes one of these actions, the text shows which key or mouse button to use: for example, when you can use the Command key and the letter key K in combination, the text shows Command-K.

The Command key is also used when selecting several objects from a list that do not form a contiguous block. For example, you can use this key when selecting a number of files to print.

Some keyboard shortcuts are specific to a particular window and only operate when that window is active. When using a windowing system, ensure that the relevant window is active before using one of these keyboard shortcuts.

OEM Manual Harlequin PLUS Server RIP v9.0: June 2011

Fonts and formats

The following fonts and styles are used throughout this documentation.

1. Paragraphs that are numbered and use this font contain instructions which you should follow in the shown order.

Text written in this

sans-serif bold

face represents a menu title, a menu item, or a control item in a RIP dialog box. Text including an angle bracket (

>

) indicates both a menu and the option in that menu. For example: “choose the

File > Start Inputs

option” is a shorthand method of referring to the

Start Inputs

menu option in the

File

menu.

Text written in this typewriter face represents a piece of PostScript language code, a file name, or text displayed by the Harlequin RIP.

If a term is written in italic, it is the first mention of an important concept. This concept is explained in the text immediately following, in the glossary, or both.

Note: Text indicated by starting with a bold word in the left margin is important and should be read carefully. A Note, like this one, is often a suggestion that may save you work, improve performance, or improve the quality of output.

Warning: Like a Note, a Warning is important and often indicates the need for care to avoid loss of files or settings.

Note to OEMs: Notes like this one, specifically addressed to OEMs, are not meant for onward publication to end-users. They list opportunities for customization, related technical documentation, and other items of possible interest to staff at Global Graphics and its OEMs.
