From this tab on the RISO machine, you should be able to select the file, and hit START to create a master.This update is recommended for all macOS Sierra users.

Make sure you are in Master making mode, and not in print mode. Most likely your machine is set to spool the jobs here. You should see the files appear in the IDLE/PAUSE tab, where the print jobs are spooled.

After hitting print, give the machine about 20-30 seconds to receive the files.On the settings, you should see all the RISO specific settings, like density, size, color etc. After opening your files, you canВ click print, where you can select your RISO machine like any other printer.I suggest installing Adobe Acrobat Reader and opening up your files there (hopefully you created them as PDFs) Now you should be able to open up your print files.

If all worked, the computer should find the RISO machine and add it as a printer (like any normal printer) after the drivers are installed.

Run the install - follow the steps to install the print drivers for your machine, make sure to plug in the laptop at the specific time the instructions ask.

See details on running a program in compatibility mode. This is because the drivers were created for older Windows versions.

After downloading and extracting the drivers,В you'll need to run the driver install Setup.exe in 'compatibility' mode for an older version of Windows.

Download the RISO print drivers for your machine on RISO's website.

After disabling S mode, make sure to restart your computer.

If you bought a cheap laptop with Windows 10, its almost guaranteed the computer is in this mode, which means you can't install non-Microsoft software (this is important for the old print drivers we'll need).

Make sure your computer is not in Windows S mode.

Turn on your RISO machine and computer.

Next you'll need a USB 2.0 cableВ with an A to B connector.В Don't connect the laptop to the printer yet.

As new laptops are getting thinner and thinner with new ports, make sure you get one with at least 1 USB 2.0/3.0 port.

Get a cheap Windows 10 laptop that you can place on top of the RISO machine.

This is NOT the same port as the USB Flash drive port on the top right. If you don't have this card,В you can either try to find one online yourself, or have a RISOВ technician install one.

It should like the below photo on the bottom left of the machine. MostВ RISO machines within the last ten years should have one.

Make sure your Risograph machine has a USB network card installed.

Hopefully the following steps will help another Risograph operatorВ connect a modern Windows 10 laptop/PC to their Risograph machine. Through lots of discovery and fiddling we were able to connect a brand new laptop to our printer. These are not supported Windows operating systems as of 2020, which added to the confusion. In our studio, we use an EZ590U printer, which is around 9+ years old and was built for Windows XP/Vista connections. All of the instructions were either incomplete or from from 10-15 year ago via Ethernet.

ResearchingВ this process ourselves, there was never clear instructions online or with the instructions about how to do this with modern PC laptops. Every Risograph owner will eventually want to hook up a computer to printer, allowing them to easilyВ sendВ masters to their machine without the hassle of scanning images or constantly moving a USB thumb-drive back and forth.
