Limitations and Known Problems
Limitations
- The plugin currently supports film punching control for Agfa imagesetters, where appropriate, if serial comms is enabled. For other imagesetters the User must configure the imagesetter directly to perform this operation when required, if the option is available.
- Paper feed around page is only available for devices which support host serial control over feed and feed length.
- On some imagesetters the advance amounts are not accurate. In some cases this can be caused by other devices connected to the imagesetters, such as Online Processors or media buffering devices.
Known Problems
Agfa imagesetters
- Some of the older Agfa imagesetters do not correctly report error conditions such as no output cassette or no media until they start imaging. This can cause jobs which should fail immediately to take a few minutes to fail and to fail with an error which does not reflect the true cause of the problem.

Installation
Installation must be performed under a login with Administrator privileges.
There must be at least one RIP installed on the Mac before running this PCI Plugins installer.
- Double click on the 'HWPlugin v5.1.2 Installer' item to start the installation process.
After starting the installer the 'Authenticate' dialog is displayed. Set the user name (this
defaults to the login user name) to a user who has Administrator priviledges and enter the login
password for the user on the 'Enter password or passphrase' edit box. Click 'OK'.
- On the main installer dialog, click OK amd follow the on-screen instructions.
- On the 'Select the Interface card type(s)...' dialog select the interface(s) that you are installing and
the number of plugins needed (one plugin is required for each interface card).
- You can choose to install up to three plugins. The selection should be made on the following basis:
- If one interface is being installed, select only the 'hwplugin - First Device' option and deselect the other two hwplugin options.
- If two interfaces are being installed, select 'hwplugin - First Device' and 'hwplugin2 - Second Device' options and deselect 'hwplugin3 - Third Device' option.
- If three interfaces are being installed, select all three hwplugin options.
- Click 'OK'.
- The installer will begin the installation process. Part way through the installation the installer will
search for RIPs installed on the target Mac. If at least one RIP is found a 'Select folder' dialog is
displayed showing a list of found 'Devices' folders. Use this dialog to select the required Devices i.e.
folder of the RIP that is to be used for output and in which the plugin components are to be installed
(typically this is [RIP name]/SW/Devices).
- Click 'Choose'.
- Once the Installer has completed quit the Installer application. This may restart the Mac in order to
complete installation of the driver software if this was installed/updated.
