In the RIP

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; and to Harlequin MultiRIP but not Harlequin Core

The work that the RIP is doing is sub‐divided and each stage of the RIP process is represented with a timeline. As far as the core RIP is concerned there is a timeline to represent the job (eventually the skin also will have its own timeline to represent a job).

There are timelines that represent the job and timelines that represent the interpretation and rendering of any particular page. In addition, there are timelines that represent the page buffer with an extent of how many bands make up the page buffer, and there are progress reports along that timeline as each band is delivered. Eventually, more processes will be represented by timelines as they are replacing a large number of individual separate events the RIP used for very short periods.
