Step 1: Download the Harlequin® RIP
To download your free trial version of the Harlequin® RIP please select the operating system you will use to run the RIP software:
Windows 2000, 2003, XP or Vista™
Macintosh 10.4 or 10.5™
Once you have downloaded the RIP installer you will need to unzip the file and then complete the installation by double clicking on the setup icon. The install program will install an RTI RIP folder on your computer's hard drive.


Step 2: Unlock the TrapPro Option
Start the RIP by double clicking on the RTI icon within the RTI folder on your hard drive. Go to the 'RTI RIP-Kit' menu ('File' on Macintosh versions of the RIP) and scroll down to Configure RIP. Click on the Extras button and highlight "TrapPro" then click Add. Enter the TrapPro password: 6074796 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. Click Yes to reboot the RIP and then start the RIP back up by double clicking on the RTI icon.

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 can 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.
