(v13) Scalable RIP raster tool

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

The Scalable RIP raster tool is supplied as an executable tool to enable automated testing of the Scalable RIP raster backend and raster manager integrations. It acts as a Digital Back End client, automatically requesting page rasters for the highest priority job, printing the delivery information, and then informing the Scalable RIP raster manager when it has handled the pages.

The Scalable RIP raster tool is run as so:
