What are advantages of the RIP Once technology? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• Areduces network traffic because it sends the data just once
• Breduces workload on the system as not every copy must be rendered again
• Cmakes it possible to print additional multiple originals at engine speed
• Drenders a digital image to make the original data smaller and faster for printing

• A
  94% (50)
• B
  4% (2)
• C
  2% (1)

Explanation

RIP Once (Raster Image Processing Once) processes a print job's digital data into a raster format a single time, then reuses that processed output. Option A is correct because sending the already-rasterized data just once-rather than transmitting raw source files repeatedly to multiple destinations-reduces network bandwidth consumption. Option D is correct because the RIP conversion transforms complex original data (e.g., PostScript or PDF) into a compact, printer-ready raster image, which is both smaller in effective processing overhead and faster to output to the print engine.

Option B is a tempting distractor but is incorrect: while RIP Once does centralize rendering, it doesn't eliminate the workload of processing each copy at the engine level-every printed sheet still requires the engine to process the rasterized data. Option C is incorrect because printing at engine speed is a function of the printer hardware, not a direct feature of the RIP Once workflow; RIP Once addresses the pre-processing stage, not the mechanical print speed.

Memory tip: Think of RIP Once as "send it Alone, Down-sized" - it sends data A single time across the network and Downs the complexity by pre-rendering the image, covering both correct answers A and D.
