New to this printing stuff

[Eastwind]

Happy Saturday Guys,

So I’ve been doing die cut vinyl for the past 6 years with flex sign pro and recently I took on a position at a sign shop where I would be running a Mimaki Jv400LX-lx // Ricoh Pro l4160 latex printer, a laminator and a Uscutter titan 68” ..
My question is, the shop computer is running “vinylmaster” for the cutter and “Ricoh RIP Software” but I can’t figure out how to place my print file into the “hot file” or “job list” of the rip software. I did however get the printer to print a file but it was already in the job list by the previous employee who is long gone. My goal is to figure out how to print a file, laminate it and then cut it. I have been reading the owners manuals. I just haven’t had much luck and I’m not sure if it’s because of something I did or a ton of settings being changed before I took on this position. I have a ton of wrapping experience from wrapping machines to full on printed trailers but I just never had a chance to learn printing. Any and every bit of advice is greatly appreciated
Thank you

I still can’t get it to work. It won’t let me upload / open any files into the job list. Won’t even print the files that are already in the job list. Won’t rip either
