Summa: F series
Info
For the Summa F series, OptiScout drivers do not manage Postnet barcodes and OPOS registration marks from SummaFlex software. If you need these, use SummaFlex drivers instead.
Drivers
- OptiSCOUT: Allows to send information to OptiScout software but not the reverse. No material management. The association of cut contour and cutting method is not media-related.
- OptiSCOUT_Connected: Allows having a bidirectional connection with the OptiScout software. This means that you can import some material information into CalderaRIP. The association of cut contour and cutting method can be media-related. For the connection to work you may need to put the IP address of the controller and the port 52000 in the Hostname field of the cutter parameters of the driver (the format should be "IP:port").
Driver history
-
CalderaRIP V17.3.1
- OptiSCOUT_Connected:
- Fixed a bug in the driver code, which ignored the synchronization of methods with certain special characters (e.g. a dash "-"). Now methods with these special characters are not ignored.
- OptiSCOUT_Connected:
-
CalderaRIP V17.3:
- Both Caldera drivers are now compatible with version 2.6 of the OptiScout controller, which made it possible to include the following improvements:
- New material types have been added.
- Now there is a return address that can be sent to the controller to tell jobs are done.
The new "Add direction mark" checkbox. - 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.
- Both Caldera drivers are now compatible with version 2.6 of the OptiScout controller, which made it possible to include the following improvements:
-
CalderaRIP V17.1:
- OptiSCOUT:
- Fixed the granularity of arc segmentation, so grommets have a smoother shape.
- OptiSCOUT:
-
CalderaRIP V17:
- OptiSCOUT:
- Fixed the direction of rotation for 90 and 270 degrees when forcing rotation
- Correction of a bug that did not allow the generation of Bezier curves
- OptiSCOUT:
-
CalderaRIP V16.0.2:
- It is no longer necessary to scale the marks down on the cut controllers since now they have the same size both in the print and in the cut file
-
CalderaRIP V7.20:
- Supported since this version

Features
Registration type (only with the OptiSCOUT_Connected driver). Choose where marks are placed on your job depending on the cutting you want.
-
Best fit: geometric cutting objects are modified and/or distorted to best possible fit to each area of the print.
- (all marks): by considering all marks
- (SmartComp): smart compensation by using marks per area, adapted for local distortion
-
Fit to job: geometric cutting objects are not modified. The entire job is positioned for the best possible position for the sheet.
