Choose a media category
Introduction
You can choose a media category when you copy or change a media profile in the RIP.
When to do
Only when you create a new media profile or edit an existing media profile you can change the
media category. It is advised to use the Colorado 1630 media profiles and not change the media
category. Only advanced users or application specialists should edit media profiles and have to
choose the media category.
NOTE
This manual provides you with basic information in order to create and change media profiles.
Profiling is an expert task which requires additional information and tools not covered by this
manual. Contact your local support organization when you want to create or change media
profiles.
