2. Copy the file to /dataVolumes/BrisqueX.1.0/.updates on the Brisque workstation
3. On the Brisque, log out cdesci.
4. In the Console Login dialog box, log on to UNIX®:
   In the Username box, type root
   In the Password box, type ripro
5. At the command line, type:
   cd /scitex/version/progs and press Enter
   cp -p psrip_V3 psrip_V3.org and press Enter
   cd /dataVolumes/BrisqueX.1.0/.updates and press Enter

4. Restart the Brisque workstation.

To set up the Brisque workflow setup after installing the update and patch:
Note: The spot colors in the processed PDF file must be mapped correctly. You cannot map them on the RIP.

1. Create a Hot Folder template containing RIP --> FAF
2. Set the following RIP settings:
   1. Select Specific under Spot Colors.
   2. Select CT on CT Border: LW Res under CT Handling.
   3. Select PS Overprint and Black Overprint under Color Handling.
   4. Clear Enhanced Handling under PDF Params.
   5. Set up the other RIP options as needed.
3. Set the following FAF settings:
   If the file requires trapping, then FAF will work only with the following settings:
   • Select CT to CT and CT Data under CT Handling, or:
   • Clear CT to CT under CT Handling.

Note: Trapping CT to CT using Values of Transparency Seps is not supported.

To submit the file:

• Drag the file to the Hot Folder.

Important: Do not interrupt the process and do not open the template options before or during the file submission (that is, do not select Hold before RIP). The file must complete the entire process without any user interference.
