QTR-Quadtone RIP

I am getting into B/W digital printing and I am setting up with an Epson R1800 with the 
new K7 insets. My question is; Can QTR be set up to work as a network RIP station or is it 
a stand alone application? I work in a studio environment where more than just myself will 
need access to this printer. We currently run 2 Epson Pro 4000's for color proofing. Will I 
need to send the files to the QTR machine and print from there or can it be set up to work 
via a network? 

Thanks.
