Need Help Setting up Rip-50c and Lino 330

[Col.Panic]

Does anyone remember how to config a rip to talk to a 330?
I had to format reloaded the software and now have it starting up. It counts 3 , 2, then stays on one.
The image setter is "seeing" the rip as it will complain of a shut down but I do not know the ip or how to use the config utility from a pc or a mac.

Anyone remember these think enough to help me get started?

Thanks

The Rip Needs to get to dot dot 0, on the display. Make sure your Lino is connected, also Ethernet. What position is the little dial on, it should be on 6 as this is EThernet. Also can you share your format and copy procedures, do you have the instructions for these?

It has been a while, but I'm pretty sure the RIP communicates via appletalk, not IP, and I would say you would have a lot more luck if you attempt to connect with a mac using OS 9 or earlier. Good luck!

I had to add pc mac lan to my pc's to get them to print to the rip 50c. as I remember you could configure the rip 50 to have an ip address and print to the ip but I could never get that to work. It has been so long since I used the mac configuration utility I dont remember it having any thing to do with the ip. i believe you had to send a postscript file to set the ip address.

also I thought the rip 50c would pick up what ever it was connected to. as long as this is a 330 and not a 300 qd. I thought there was only the one recorder connection Li5 ?/? do you have the manual I think if it was an err you would get an err 9 or something.
on the old 300 qd machines you had to configure the connection. heidelberg might have a few techs around that could remember the old machines

I really need that disk because the Xitron Rip asks for it during installation! please help if you can.

Hi, must I connect the ethernet cable to the Rip 40 for it to get to ..0 status. I've not connected it I guess that is why it hangs on LIr status.

Hallo.
Doe's it mean the RIP 40 is Mac based ? I only have to connect it to a PC through PC MacLan ?

the rip 50 is not mac based but it may have had the motorola 68030 processor ? this is where the similarities end. the only thing mac about it, is the apple talk interface. which by the way resets the system often if the network has too much traffic. new computers coming on and off the net.

but yes all you would need is an apple talk protocol on your computer and it should be available as a printer. you will need ppd's and I would recomend the adobe postscript printer driver which is now part of windows xp. but get ready for postscript errors. you should consider a better rip for long term usability. good luck
