Click on the Extras button and highlight "Raster, PDF Raster" then click Add. Enter the PDF Raster password: 4034466 and click OK. While in the Configure RIP Window you will also want to Configure the RIPs memory. Change the Printer Buffer = 32,768 and then click OK. The RIP will say that it needs to reboot.

Step 4: Create Shared Printers
Once you have created a page setup you can share that page setup so that other computers on the network will be able to print to the new page setup. Before you share printers from your RIP you will need to download the RTI PPD. The PPD folder contains the RTI Postscript Printer Description (PPD) which can be used to print to the RIP from both Windows and Macintosh computers.

This PPD folder contains PPDs for a wide variety of devices. The RTI PPD is a universal PPD.
