Troubleshooting Hy-Rez QuikRIP

Windows & Macintosh

For the most part, we’ve had very little difficulty with PhotoScript along

with Hy-Rez QuikRIP but there are a few matters that might show up.

Problem: The RIP doesn’t recognize the USB dongle.

Two reasons could cause this problem. First the dongle was inserted

into the computer prior to installation or, second PhotoScript is installed

on Windows XP, XP Pro, 2000 or possibly NT. To fix problem #1,

reinstall PhotoScript without the dongle inserted. Problem #2, remove

the dongle from the computer and run the “dongle.exe” installer located

in the PhotoScript folder. Restart the computer and reinsert the dongle.

Problem: The RIP doesn’t recognize the Parallel Dongle.

Follow the instructions above however

DO NOT

remove or install the

Parallel Dongle while the computer is turned on. Doing so could damage

your system!

Problem: (Mac Only) The RIP is asking me for a serial number.

A label should be applied to the dongle that contains a number such as

dtpp110030um. Enter this number and reinsert the dongle.

Problem: Computer machine code is imaging to the film and not the

artwork.

This could happen if you’ve attempted to restart a stopped or paused

print job. This can get very expensive if not caught in time since your

printer will continue to output sheet after sheet of text at high speed to

your film.

First, pause the printer. Second, locate CLEO, the small cat icon on the

lower right corner of the screen (in the System Tray along side the

system clock), right click it and choose Close. Now select EXIT within

the PhotoScript File Menu.

You may also have to open the Printers Menu (Start Menu / Settings /

Printers), select your PhotoScript printer by double clicking it’s icon and

select “Purge Print Documents” from the Printer Menu. This will make

certain all data has been flushed from the system.

On a Mac, Pause the printer, stop the RIP, close the RIP.

We recommend that you restart the computer.
