This section contains technical documentation on using and creating profiles in the Profile Manager utility, as well as covering the different settings in each property tab found in the profile editing view. For step-by-step instructions demonstrating how to use these property tabs to enable and configure specific settings offered by Raster Image Printer, see the Working with Raster Image Printer section.
Raster Image Printer uses Profiles, which are a group of settings, to create the output image you want. Personal profiles are created and edited through the Profile Manager utility. A personal profile is only available to the user who created it. Users can select their default profile either using the Printer Management utility or on the fly during the printing process on the Save As dialog.
Personal profiles can also be converted to a shared profile. Promoting a personal profile to a shared profile allows the profile to be used by all users on the computer. See Create a Shared Profile topic to learn how to share a profile.
