Exploring the WFC RIP
Main Screen
Have the customer operate the mouse as you discuss the following. The Xerox WFC RIP
Main Screen (Figure 4) consists of the following:
NOTE: The options explained in this guide are for the WFC RIP setup with a
8265/8290/8365/8390 Wide Format Color Printer. The options that are available on the
WFC RIP software may vary depending upon the model of the printer that is currently
setup in the software.
To get to these menus, you have to right click in the menu area and choose “Classic
Menus”
• 1 – Pull-down Menus – Additional functions can be executed through the use of
these pull-downs. This also provides an alternate way of selecting the items on the
Tool Bar.
• 2 - Tool Bar - Contains tools for the most commonly used functions. Slowly scroll
the cursor over each icon and read the function description.
• 3 - Setup Area - Shows available output devices. The RIP product purchased
dictates the number of printers that can be defined. 50 printers can be defined for
WFC Server and Server Pro.
• 4 - Output Queue - This area displays the status of jobs that have been printed and
the current print status. Print jobs can be configured to be Held, Archived, or Deleted
after printing.
• 5 - RIP Queue –Displays the current status of jobs in the RIP Queue. The RIP
Queue can be configured to Hold after RIP or Print after RIP. Hold after RIP allows
the job to be RIPped and then printed at a later time.
• 6 - Hold Queue – Displays the status of jobs coming into the RIP. This is where all
non-RIPped jobs enter the RIP. Jobs can be sent to Automatically RIP and Print for
unattended operation using the default printer setup parameters. If the customer is
using multiple media types, then Hold on Receive is the suggested setting. This will
allow the RIP operator to adjust all settings for the job such as Media, ICC Profile,
Nesting, Sizing, Tiling, and much more.
• 7 - Job Preview Pane - Displays a thumbnail of the file selected in the Hold or RIP
Queues.
• 8 – Job Information Pane - Shows details about the job being processed.
