Driver history
-
CalderaRIP V18.2:
- Now, these drivers can automatically execute cut jobs on printed media generated with CalderaRIP. Previously, the square registration marks were not detected because their size was set at 5mm, which was too large for the cutting devices. While a manual execution workaround was available, this functionality has now been integrated into the software, allowing for improved detection and efficiency.
-
CalderaRIP V18.1:
- Summa S3 Postnet: Fixed the default values of the "Sheet Off" function, which previously resulted in the cutting occurring within the job itself. This update improves the accuracy of barcode detection.
-
CalderaRIP V17.3
- Summa S cutters: A new "Add direction mark" checkbox was added to the Misc. area of the Cutter Tools Configuration for almost all cutting drivers (both GrandCut and VisualCut). Activating this new field adds direction marks in the form of a triangle pointing to the bottom edge of the cut job, which significantly speeds up the operators' work when managing these files.

CalderaRIP V17.2
- Summa S2: Three new fields were added to the Tool Configuration window, line type and custom dash (up or down), so you can further customize your cutting jobs:

Only available with the Summa S2 and Summa S3 drivers.
This option makes the OPOS barcode line thicker. It is available from Page setup > Cutting tab > Cutter tools configuration.
Overcut
Only available with the Summa S3 Postnet driver.
If you need to cut sharp angles with a drag blade, the Overcut parameter allows you to avoid cropping the angle with the tool by cutting an extra distance at the end of the segment before the tool rotates.
This distance can be set from 0 to 1 mm from VisualCut > Tools settings & Priority section > Tool configuration.
