Harlequin RIP rejects DCS or EPS from Prinergy

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Harlequin RIP rejects a DCS or EPS file with:

"%%[ Error: undefinedfilename; OffendingCommand: file; File: %ip:Encad-Creo-Comp_Prinergy% ]%%

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end of file) will be ignored ]%%'


Cause

  This problem was encountered at American Press, with a Harlequin RIP that was hooked up to an Encad plotter. The Encad is a roll-fed proofing device, much like an HP plotter. However, instead of having a Jet Direct card as a front-end, some Encads have Harlequin RIPs as the front end.

If you specify "roll-fed" as a setting in the Prinergy process plan, you will write an EPS or DCS file that cannot be interpeted by the RIP.


Solution

 

Instead of selecting "roll-fed", select "digital file" in the Prinergy process plan. You may have to configure several different spool folders with different signature sizes specified for each one.

Permanent fix:
