How to add a resolution to the printer driver?

CalderaRIP's printer drivers come pre-installed with default parameters, including predefined printing resolutions. While these values cannot be modified directly in the Print module, they can be adjusted in the ServerAdmin module.

Step 1: Go to ServerAdmin

1. In the Application bar, open the Settings tab, then double-click the ServerAdmin icon:

3. Click the Configure... button:

Step 2: Add a resolution to the driver

1. Go to the Resolutions tab.
   
   
2. Click on the New... button:
   
   

    

3. The Resolution creation window will open: 
   
   

    

4. Fill in the following fields:
   • In the Label field, type the resolution name, as it will be displayed in the Print module and EasyMedia (or ProfileExpert in the TextilePro interface).

       Warning

     The Label must be recognized by the printer controller. If not, the resolution will not be applied.

   • Fill in the horizontal/vertical resolution and drop size fields, according to the printer's capabilities and the manufacturer's recommendation.
     

       Info

     Depending on the version of your software, the resolutions may have certain limitations.
     Drop sizes are required for the optional CostProof feature.

    

5. Click OK to save the new resolution:
