Important notes and Instructions

Connecting To The Printer Software For Direct Streaming:
The Printer Manager software must be installed prior to printing.

The printer manager software must run at an Administrator level. To make sure it runs at the Administrator level, every time, do the following:
• From the Windows Desktop, right-click on the newly created Printer Manager shortcut and select Properties.
• Click on the Compatibility tab and in 'Privilege Level' section, put a check in the box for 'Run this program as an administrator'.
• Click OK to save the changes.

To send print jobs directly to the print manager, SoftRIP needs to have the localhost IP address added to the TCP/IP list then selected as the physical connection. On the Print menu select Setup, or click on the two blue gears in the upper right of the SoftRIP window. Locate the 'TCP/IP List' button to the right of the Physical Connection drop-down menu, click and Add '127.0.0.1' to the list then Save the list. See the example below. Be sure to select this choice for the Physical Connection.
