Driver history

• CalderaRIP V18.2:
  • A new option, "Display White Printhead Warnings," is now available under Printer Settings    > Printer tab. When enabled, the printer driver will display two distinct messages based on your production:

    • For jobs with white ink, the driver will prompt you to unload the white ink printhead from the storage system, and install it following the instructions on the printer's control panel.

        Warning

      If you don't install the white printhead, printing will continue without interruption; however, the controller will register an error.

      For more information on handling white inks in these printers, please refer to the HP documentation (starting on page 202).

    • For jobs without white ink, the driver will recommend placing the white ink printhead in the storage system to extend its life.
• CalderaRIP V18.1:
  • Revision A: Fixed an issue that could trigger a "Both sides must have the same job sizes" error message during sandwich printing, even when the job sizes appeared to be identical.
  • Both printers have been supported since this version.

Inks

The W model can use White as a Spot Ink. Learn more.

Connection

 Tips & tricks

Media synchronization

These printer drivers allow you to load your printer's media into CalderaRIP automatically:

1. Go to EasyMedia module.
2. Click on the printer icon (  ).
3. Double click on your printer model (or select it and click “Next”). EasyMedia will synchronize with the printer and load the media automatically.

Troubleshooting

Within the ServerAdmin module, there is a Misc tab where you will find options to fix unexpected behaviors with your HP Latex 730 and 830(W) devices:

Example from another HP model

• Low-level report: This is the driver's log. If your driver presents unexpected behaviors, this feature is useful for identifying the problem.
  1. Check the corresponding box to enable it and restart the driver to validate the changes (the software will prompt you for this).
  2. Once the low-level reports are enabled, reproduce the issue.
  3. Save/Recover the report to check what's wrong with the driver.
• Driver reset: This will remove any cache file kept internally by the driver to "reset" the driver to "factory default". Clicking this button will remove the internal media database, internal quality index, and the ICC cache file.
