System Requirements Windows  
The following table lists the minimum and high volume recommended system setup to run RIP Software.  
System requirements vary according to the size of the files to be scanned and printed, the output device used,  
and other variables. Your particular setup and intended use of the software determine what hardware and  
software setup you need to get the most out of RIP Software. If you are working with relatively small files, the  
minimum setup may be sufficient. Similarly, if you are working with large files, you should consider the  
recommended setup. Consult your dealer for advice when choosing a system.

Getting Started  
[Windows]  
The Roland COLORCHOICE is automatically launched each time you start your computer. However, you will  
need to view the Print Monitor in order to work with it. To view the Print Monitor, double click on the Roland  
COLORCHOICE Software icon located in the lower right corner of your computer’s monitor.  
[Macintosh]  
The Roland COLORCHOICE is automatically launched each time you print or you may double-click Roland  
COLORCHOICE Software icon. The Roland COLORCHOICE is will open the print monitor window.  
Using the RIP Software  
You can control every facet of job management from the Print Monitor. The Print Monitor is essentially a  
queue, listing all the files that are waiting to be printed.  
Jobs appear in the queue in the order that they were received. For each job, the following information is  
displayed:  
ƒ
ƒ
Job Name—the name of the file, including any extensions.  
Status—the current status of the job, either Holding, RIPing (the process of converting images to a  
series of minute dots so that they can be printed), or Printing.  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Copies—the number of copies to be printed.  
Media—the media on which the job will be printed.  
File Type—the file type of the selected job.  
To quit the RIP Software program when you are in Windows, right click on the icon, and then select Quit from  
the menu that appears. Once you quit in this fashion, you must either restart your computer or use the ‘Start’  
menu in order to restart the RIP Software.  
Printing a Test File  
To insure that your software is properly installed and that a connection to the printer is established, it is  
recommended that you create a test print. When you do this a small test file is sent to the Print Monitor and  
then printed. Once you’ve successfully printed a test file, be sure to read the rest of this document to learn  
about other features  
13  
 
To Print a Test  
From the Setup Menu select Test Print. A small PostScript test file is sent to the Print Monitor and then  
printed.  
ƒ
14  
 
Menus  
You may access a number of RIP Software’s functions using the menus at the top of the main window.  
File Menu  
The File menu allows the user to add a job, save a job as a different format, send, pause, or abort a job or  
stop the process by exiting. The following chart defines each of these options:  
Add Job  
The Add a Job command allows you to add a job directly to the Print Monitor.  
To Add a Job  
1. From the File menu select Add Job. The Add Job dialog box displays.  
2. From the Add Job dialog select the path of the job you would like to add.  
3. Click Open. The job is added to the printer queue.  
Job Properties  
Job Properties can be accessed from within Roland COLORCHOICE and are settings associated with a  
particular job. The Job Properties come from either the Printing Properties set in client, or the Setup  
Properties set in RIP Software Server. To change the Job Properties, select Job Properties from the File  
menu. Within Job Properties you may preview the job by selecting page preview, layout preview or no preview  
(Macintosh only). Page preview displays the image of the job. Layout preview displays the job relative to the  
output media. (See the Job Properties General Tab section for additional details).  
Save As  
The Save As command allows you to save an image into different file formats. Once a job has been printed,  
you may want to save the RIPed file so that you can reprint it without having to RIP the file again. Saving a file  
as Native format, with a .PRT extension, allows you to save RIPed files for reprinting.  
To Save a Job into a Different Format  
1. Click on the job you would like to save into a different format.  
2. From the File Menu select Save As.  
3. Select the destination folder and the file name.  
4. Click Save.  
Send  
Once jobs are in the Print Monitor, you can select individual jobs or groups of jobs for printing. When selecting  
a group of jobs, they are printed in the order that they appear in the queue.  
To Send a Job to Print  
1. Click on the job or jobs you would like to print.  
2. From the File Menu select Send to RIP.  
Pause  
When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for Raster Image Processor, is a  
process that converts the selected file into a series of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected  
media. RIPing involves a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s  
processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP than smaller files. The nature of the RIP  
process makes it impossible to pause and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you  
15  
 
from pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and has begun printing, you  
can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing process as often as desired.  
To Pause a Print Job  
1. Click on the job you would like to pause.  
2. From the File Menu select Pause.  
To Resume a printing Job  
ƒ
Double-click on the paused print job.  
Abort  
Although a job cannot be paused during the RIP process, the job can be aborted. After aborting a job, all  
RIP’ed information is lost and the process must start again.  
To Abort a Print Job  
1. Click on the job you would like to abort.  
2. From the File Menu select Abort.  
Exit/Quit  
The Exit/Quit command ends the program and closes the Print Monitor window.  
To Exit Program  
ƒ
From the File menu select Exit/Quit.  
Edit Menu  
The Edit menu allows the user to select all files, delete a file, and change preferences.  
Select All  
The Select All command selects all files in the print queue.  
Delete

To Delete a Job  
1. Select the job or jobs that you want to delete by selecting them in the Print Monitor’s queue.  
2. From the File menu choose Delete.  
Pausing and Resuming Printing  
When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for Raster Image Processor, is a  
process that converts the selected file into a series of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected  
media. RIPing involves a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s  
processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP than smaller files. The nature of the RIP  
process makes it impossible to pause and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you  
from pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and has begun printing, you  
can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing process as often as desired.  
To Pause or Resume a Job  
1. Select the job to pause by selecting it in RIP Software’s Print Monitor window.  
2. Click the Pause icon.  
3. Click the Pause button again (Resume) to resume the printing process.  
Aborting a Print Job  
Although a job cannot be paused during the RIP process, the job can be aborted. After aborting a job, all  
RIP’ed information is lost and the process must start again.  
To Abort a Print Job  
1. Select the job to abort by selecting it in RIP Software’s Print Monitor window.  
2. From the File menu choose Abort or click the icon Abort Job  
Printing Directly from an Application  
Once you have specified setup properties, you can print directly from your application without adjusting any  
values from the Print Monitor menus.  
Most applications have Page setup and Print Command options within the File Menu. Make sure you select  
the correct printer setup that you have installed. Please consult your DTP application for more details on the  
print command.

Printing from a Client on your Network  
If you have a network of PCs and have completed the additional setup instructions for network printing, you  
can print from any client on your network. When you do this, jobs arrive in the ‘Hot’ folder of the server and are  
processed like any other job.  
There are two ways to send jobs to the server for processing:  
ƒ
ƒ
Dragging the file directly into the server’s shared ‘Hot’ folder  
OR  
Using the design application’s Print to File function and selecting the server’s ‘Hot’ folder as your  
destination  
The ‘Hot’ folder is located as follows :  
[Windows] : C:\Program Files\Roland COLORCHOICE 4\Jobs\Roland\ [Printer Name]  
or C:\Program Files\ RCC for ColorCAMM\Jobs\Roland\ [Printer Name]  
[Macintosh] : Roland COLORCHOICE 4 : Jobs : [Printer Name]  
or RCC for ColorCAMM : Jobs : [Printer Name]

Setup Properties  
The Setup Properties window can be accessed from within RIP Software Server and are settings used to  
process jobs that do not have properties of their own associated with them. Setup Properties contain settings  
for a specific output device. If a job is placed in an output device’s Hot Folder, and it does not contain any  
properties, then the settings from the Setup Properties will be applied to the job.  
To Access Setup Properties.  
ƒ
From the Setup menu, select Setup Properties. The setup properties window displays.  
The Setup Properties General Tab  
The General tab displays standard Windows printer settings associated with printer port selection and media  
size.

other from the list and then editing the Height and Width values. Media Size displays the size of the media  
being used, not the total printable area.  
Printable Area  
The printable area displays the area that is available for printing. The values in this area may be different from  
the values in the media size. The application calculates the printable area by applying margins to the media  
size.  
Margin  
Displays the margins from the edges of the media. Margins are the areas on the edges of the media where  
nothing will print.  
Ports [only Windows]  
Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you physically change the  
port to which your printer is connected. Ports may be found on the General within Windows.  
Parallel Ports (LPT ports)  
Parallel Ports are probably the most common method of sending data to output devices. Devices  
connected to a Parallel Port are connected directly to the RIP Software Server computer with a Parallel  
cable. There are several print modes available to Parallel Ports. The most common Parallel Port modes  
are Standard and ECP. We recommend to use ECP port. The mode defines the method of  
communication between your computer and your output device. Typically, you set the communication  
mode for the Parallel Port in your computer BIOS. To find out how to access your computer's BIOS and  
change the port setting, consult the documentation that came with your computer.  
Note: To enable ECP mode you may need to turn off the “Use standard LPT driver checkbox in the  
communications tab of the Setup Properties inside of application.  
File Ports  
The File Port behaves like a save to file option. Instead of sending data out through a port on your  
computer, the File Port option will write the data to a file and save it to a specified location. Use the File  
Port to send data to printers that use their own Hot Folders, to transfer files to another computer, or to  
troubleshoot a specific output device.  
TCP/IP  
User must enter an IP address, which maybe obtained from your printer. This option is available if your  
printer Supports network.  
USB-PIA Ports  
USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports will automatically appear in the list of ports in RIP Software Server if  
you have properly set up and configured your computer to use USB devices. USB comes standard for  
most newer computers and output devices, and has become popular for its fast data transfer rate, and  
its easy connectivity. To use USB with RIP Software Server, you must select a Generic/Text only  
PostScript Printer Driver in RIP Software Server Preferences.  
Note: USB Ports are only supported on Windows 98 and Windows 2000.  
The Setup Properties Ports Tab [only Macintosh]  
Ports  
Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you physically change the

Cut Media After Printing  
Check “Cut Media After Printing” To separate the sheet after printing is complete.  
Dry Time (CAMM JET Only)  
Defines the Ink Drying time. When performing Print and Cut, it will wait the specified amount of time  
before cutting. Set longer interval when using media that does not absorb the ink well.  
Print Crop Mark (CAMM JET Only)  
When this option is checked, the printer will add automatically a crop mark to the output. This option has  
the same effect with the setting done in the printer panel (CROP MARK - ENABLE).  
By adding the crop mark to the output, you can take out the print from the printer, then set it back and  
perform the contour cut with correct alignment. Please consult "User's Reference - Remove the Printed  
Material, then Reload the Material and Perform Cutting - Setting the Base Point and Align Point" in the  
CAMM JET User's Manual for more information.  
See the procedures below to print, laminate then cut a design file with Print and Cut data.  
Select "Print Only" for the "Send" mode in General tab. Open the Print tab and click on the Driver Option

each color mode (CMY, CMYK, CMYKOrGr).  
Print White Color First  
When this option is checked, the white color will be printed first using the white ribbon and then the  
process colors and spot colors will be printed.  
Mirror Printing Order  
When this option is checked, the order of the ribbons will be inverted. This feature should be used to  
print in transparent films. Notice that the image itself will not be inverted. To invert the image, you have  
to use the Mirror button on Job Properties.  
24  
 
Pause for Spot Colors  
When using spot color ribbons and this option is checked, the printer will pause between each spot color.  
The printing can be resumed clicking on correspondent dialog box.  
Long Plot  
When the image is higher than 20 inches, you can specify how your image will be printed.  
Block Printing  
When checked, each color layer will be printed according to the block height specified below, therefore  
minimizing the distortions caused by the material elasticity.  
Block Height  
Specifies the block height that will be used to print each color. Select the value from the list.

Check this option to cut the media after the output is complete.  
Glossy Finisher  
When this option is checked, a coating with special ribbon will be done. This option is enabled when wax  
ribbons is being used.  
Perform Color Correction  
Checking this setting activates the color correction settings. If this setting is not checked, incoming jobs are  
assumed to already have color correction.  
ICC input profile  
Input profiles are used to convert the image into a neutral color space. Once the image is in a neutral color  
space, then the output profile is used to convert the image into the color space of the output device. To add an  
ICC input profile from another source, click the Add button. Three types of ICC input profiles can be specified:  
CMYK ICC input profile  
The CMYK input profile defines all elements of a job that are in CMYK color mode. If your job is in the  
RGB color mode, then you should leave the CMYK input profile set to the Generic setting. If your file  
contains images in both the CMYK and the RGB mode, then the CMYK input profile will be applied to the  
CMYK images and the RGB input profile will be applied to the RGB images. If your image is in the  
CMYK color mode, then your file was previously separated for output to a specific output device.  
Whenever possible, use the profile for the device to which the elements were separated, as the CMYK  
25  
 
input profile. If you do not have the profile, try similar profiles or profiles for common ink sets (such as  
CMYK SWOP, or High End SWOP). If you are trying to match Pantone colors, it may also be appropriate  
to select High End SWOP as your CMYK input profile, because Pantone Process CMYK values were  
designed for output to the SWOP ink set.  
RGB ICC input profile  
The RGB ICC input profile defines the RGB source for all of your RGB files. An RGB input profile can be  
for either a monitor or a scanner. If you scanned your file directly to a folder, it is best to select your  
scanner calibration as the RGB input profile. If you have done any on- screen color correction, you  
should select your monitor as the RGB input profile. If you do not have a monitor profile, it is generally  
safe to select the Generic ICC input profile. The Generic profile assumes that you have a Trinitron  
monitor with a temperature of D65 and a gamma of 1.8. Selecting the correct RGB source will insure that  
the RGB data you see on-screen will be matched to the output printer.  
Gray ICC input profile  
The Gray ICC input profile defines the Grayscale source for all of your grayscale files. This may refer to  
either a grayscale scanner or a grayscale monitor.  
ICC output profile  
ICC output profile- Output profiles are created for the combination of ink and media, and resolution and dither  
type of your output device. When selecting a profile, be sure to select the profile that matches these criteria.  
For output devices that print at multiple resolutions, RIP Software provides profiles for each of those  
resolutions. Choosing a profile with the wrong resolution will severely effect the output. Profiles with different  
dither types will not greatly effect your output; however, they may cause slight shifts in color. To add an ICC  
output profile from another source, click the Add button. Click the Info button for information pertaining to the  
ICC output profile that has been chosen under Profile.  
Bitmap/Vector Rending Intent  
Rendering intent- before a file can be RIPed, its ICC profile must be selected so that the RGB color  
space of the file can be mapped or translated into to CMYK colorspace. How the colorspace gets  
mapped is determined by the color rendering intent that you select. The rendering intent selected in the  
Bitmap rendering field will be applied to bitmap images in your job file. The rendering intent selected in  
the Vector rendering intent field will be applied to vector images in your file. Choose from one of the  
following rendering intents:  
Perceptual  
This intent is best for photographic images. Colors outside of the output device's gamut are either  
clipped or compressed to fit the output device’s color space  
Relative Colorimetric  
This intent is best for images, such as logos, where the original image needs to match the output.  
Colors that fall outside of the output device's gamut are clipped. This method may reduce the total  
number of colors available. The white point of Relative Colorimetric is always zero.  
Saturation  
This intent is best for graphic images, such as vector art, where vivid colors are more important  
than true color matching. Colors outside of the output device's gamut are mapped to colors at the  
extent of the gamut's saturation. Color's that fall within the gamut of the output device are shifted  
closer to the gamut's saturation extent. This rendering intent may also be used to boost colors  
within a photographic image.  
Absolute Colorimetric  
This intent is similar to Relative Colorimetric, but has a different white point value. Absolute  
Colorimetric represents colors relative to a fixed white point value of D50. For example, the white  
of paper A will be simulated when printing on paper B. This intent is best for color proofing.  
Spot Color  
26  
 
This intent is was created to supplement the Saturation intent. Spot Color maps colors similarly to  
the Saturation rendering intent, but Spot Color rendering intent produces the greatest saturation  
possible, and should not be used with photographic images.  
Color Mode  
If your output device supports multiple color modes, then you can select one of the supported color modes  
here.  
The Setup Properties Cut Tab (CAMM JET/ColorCAMM)

quality or unfinished cut lines. The default value is 250 (0.25mm).  
Speed  
Set the cutting speed. Usually setting a lower speed will result in longer cut times, but will produce higher  
quality results.  
Force  
Set the blade pressure for cutting. When the values set here are too small, the blade will not have  
enough pressure to cut the sheet. Similarly, if the pressure is too high, not only it will not work properly,  
but it can cut through the back of the media and may cause damage to printer. Be careful to set the  
correct value for the thickness and the hardness of the material you are using.  
Custom End tab  
Use this tab to specify that the media be cut after the job finishes. Selecting Cut Media and also

Density Adjustment (Hi-Fi JET/CAMM JET)  
Adjusting the density is an excellent way to control for variables related to your hardware, such as worn ink  
jets. Adjusting for density is also a good way to insure linearization. For example, if you have a gradient from  
black to white, you want the transition to be smooth, and not weighted in any particular area. Click  
Setup>Density Adjustment to display the Density Calibration dialog box.  
Import  
You can import density files using this button. A standard dialog box lets you locate files.  
Export  
Use this button to export density files. By default, density files are stored in the Density folder (Roland  
COLORCHOICE 4/Density/Printer Model) New Use this button to create new density curves. See the section  
below to learn how to edit a density curve. Once you have the curve that you want, you can save it and it will  
become available for application to any file.  
Delete  
Deletes the selected density file.  
Edit  
Displays the Density Adjustment dialog box, where you can edit the density curve directly.  
Working with density curves  
1. Click Setup>Density Adjustment.  
The Density Calibration dialog box appears.  
2. Highlight a density file and then click Edit, or click New to create a new density file.  
The Density Adjustment dialog box appears.  
3. Select a channel to edit from the Channel list.  
4. Edit the curve as described below.  
Adjusting the Density curve  
The density curve translates input dot values read from the file into output dot values that appear on the  
printed media. The Density Adjustment dialog lets you make precise adjustments to the density curve by  
adjusting color channels individually, or by simultaneously adjusting all channels. You can save settings you  
create as .den files. In this way, you can build a library of density files for future use.  
The horizontal axis (left to right) and vertical axis (bottom to top) represent density expressed as a percentage  
of coverage. If you do not adjust the density curve, or if you click the Reset button, the density curve is not a  
curve at all, but a straight line. This means that no adjustments have been made- a 50% density magenta  
value read from the file will print at 50% coverage.  
To edit each color channel individually  
Click on the Channel list to select a color, and then edit the curve by clicking and dragging points on the curve  
to a new value. To delete a point, drag the point off of the top or bottom of the chart.  
To simultaneously edit all channels  
You can adjust all channels at the same time by modifying the curve in the same way, and then clicking Apply  
to All. Keep in mind that any modifications made to all channels will override changes you may have made to  
the individual channels. Click Reset to return the density curve to its default setting.

Adobe Illustrator 8 [Windows]  
When using Adobe Illustrator with a hybrid printer cutter such as the ColorCAMM and CAMM JET, you can  
print objects and then cut a contour line around them. Follow these steps to send Illustrator files with contour  
cut lines:  
1. Copy a file 'ColorCAMM PRO.ai' or 'CAMM JET.ai', located in the ‘SpotColor Library\ColorCAMM PRO  
or CAMM JET\Illustrator’ folder of the Installation CD to the Swatch Libraries folder of Illustrator.  
2. Start Illustrator.  
3. Open the file that you want to contour cut, if it’s not already open.  
4. Select 'ColorCAMM PRO' or 'CAMM JET' in the Windows\Swatch Libraries menu to open the library.  
“CutContour” appears in the library.  
5. Select “CutContour” as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. You can change the color of the  
contour line by changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color mode should always be Spot Color.  
6. Print the file as you normally would.  
7. If the swatch library is unavailable for some reason, you can create a new swatch. Be sure to begin the  
swatch name with “CutContour” and set the color mode as Spot Color. We recommend that you specify  
a color other than the default color to better see the contour line on your display, and that it also be a  
dashed line. When defined like this, the line will always be treated as a contour, regardless of its line  
width.

Adobe Illustrator 8 [Macintosh]  
1. Copy the file 'ColorCAMM PRO' or 'CAMM JET', located in the ‘SpotColorLibray:ColorCAMM PRO or  
CAMM JET:Illustrator’ folder of the Installation CD, to the Swatch Libraries folder of Illustrator.  
2. Start Illustrator.  
3. Open the file that you want to contour cut, if it’s not already open.  
4. Select ‘ColorCAMM PRO’ or ‘CAMM JET’ in the Window>Swatch Libraries menu to open the library. All  
spot and “CutContour” colors appear in the library.  
5. To make a cutting line, select “CutContour” as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. To make  
an object that will be printed using a spot color, just fill it using a Spot Color from the library. You can  
change the color of the contour line or spot color by changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color  
mode should always be Spot Color.  
6. Print the file as you normally would.  
If the ‘ColorCAMM PRO’ or ‘CAMM JET’ swatch library is unabailable for some reason, you can create a new  
swatch. Be sure that the color names are the same as described above and set the color mode as Spot color.  
We recommend that you specify a color other than the default color to better see the contour line or spot
