Look at the support contract pricing before getting to far.

Have you measured the plate to see if they are cut to the correct size? We have a Screen 8800 and every once and awhile we get the error and sure enough the plates are off a mm or two.We just go into the interface on the platesetter and adjust the "Y" axis length to the plate size that is off...

Been running 12.2 with Mavericks on all my Macs with no issues.

Not sure where you got your info from but Rampage has not stopped developing their software. I stand corrected. Just got the letter from Fuji stating that Rampage is done. So sad :(
