Epson 1520 - Manual (Page 19)

Problem: (Mac) I can’t select my laser printer or alternate print-
ing device! I’m only allowed to print using the Epson PhotoScript
printer.
First turn your laser printer on. Then use the Chooser and once
again select the correct printer driver and alternative printer. This is
most likely PSPrinter or LaserWriter 8 if using a postscript laser. To
re-select the Epson PhotoScript printer, open the Chooser and select
the PhotoScript Printer Driver.
Problem: The RIP can’t locate or open PhotoMatch Creator.
Try launching PhotoMatch Creator manually after launching Photo-
Script by double-clicking it. PhotoMatch is located within the Photo-
Script folder. If this doesn’t work, close then restart the RIP and try
again. If the problem persists after physically restarting the sys-
tem, reinstall PhotoScript followed by Hy-Rez QuikRIP.
Note: PhotoMatch Creator is not included with the Mac version.
Problem: I’m printing a 1 color document from my Illustration
program (FreeHand, Illustrator, etc.) and even after setting the
line screen and angle (example: 55 lpi - 26 degrees) in the print
options, the RIP doesn’t use the settings from the application. It
seems to be printing at a high line screen and incorrect angle!
(example: 80 lpi - 45 degrees which is unusable)
Most likely you’re attempting to output the image as a composite.
Although the image is only 1 color, it must be treated as a separa-
tion. Simply uncheck the “composite” box and choose “separations”.
Now select the black and apply the screen settings to that color.

In conclusion, most problems can be resolved by reinstalling the
programs. It requires only a few minutes and it’s virtually guaran-
teed to eliminate the trouble of trying to pinpoint the exact mal-
function.
Postscript RIP’s use very precise language and the slightest
misconfiguration of an error could render the RIP useless. So when
in doubt, “reinstall”!
