Appendix B, Backup and Restore the MicroPress RIP

Backup the MicroPress RIP Configuration

Depending on user needs or job requirements, you can modify factory default RIP settings 

(e.g., page setups, custom ToneCurves (user created), color setups, resolution, screen fre-

quencies). Backing up the RIP configuration will save this information and ensure custom 

settings are preserved (in the “Config.ps” file). Processing this file through the RIP restores 

the last back-up configuration. Restoring a configuration does not delete existing page set-

ups, but restores those with identical names to their backup configuration. You can also use 

this procedure to install the custom configuration to a future RIP version. To backup the cur-

rent RIP configuration:

1 Select MP-RIP

ÎPrint File.

2 From the Print File dialog, go to the following directory: C:\MicroPress\Rip\Trsysm01 

\Utilities

3 Select "BackupConfiguration.ps" file.
4 Click OK.

The RIP will create the file "Config.ps," store configuration data in it, and place it in the 
above named directory. Consider moving or copying this file to a non-MicroPress folder 
to avoid overwriting it when upgrading, or to ensure another backup file exists. Note: 
Perform a backup operation after installing such RIP options as ICC Profile Processor, 
TrapWorks, or HDS. Otherwise, they will restore uninstalled.

Restore the MicroPress RIP Configuration

The RIP restores configurations using the file "Config.ps." Restoring a configuration will not 

delete existing page setups, but will restore those with identical names to their backup config-

uration. To restore a saved configuration, follow these steps.

1 Select MP-RIP

ÎPrint File.

2 From the Print File dialog, go to the directory containing the file "Config.ps," created 

when running the backup routine above. By default, the RIP places this file in the 
C:\MicroPress\Rip\Trsysm01\Utilities folder (though it’s best to store "Config.ps" file in 

open: the TIFF 6.0 or TIFF/
IT file is either corrupt, 
unsupported, of an 
unrecognized type or the 
appropriate file type is not 
enabled in Configure RIP / 
Extras

This message displays if attempting to image unsupported TIFF/IT data types or to image 
files that do not conform to the TIFF/IT-P1 profile. If attempting to print TIFF/IT-P1 files 
when the TIFF/IT option is not enabled, then the TIFF 6.0 input option may attempt to 
process the parts of the file that it recognizes as TIFF. If this message appears then the 
TIFF 6.0 input option does not recognize any part of the file as TIFF.

Using correction for 
FreeHand set color 
problem.

FreeHand uses the set color operator in a manner that causes problems for a Level 2 RIP. 
The RIP catches and corrects this problem.

Using correction for 
PhotoShop ‘undefined’ 
problem.

Adobe PhotoShop produces PostScript language that does not follow recommendations in 
the "Red Book," and that causes problems with the efficient method of halftone generation 
the RIP uses. The RIP catches and corrects this problem.
