These drivers feature an advanced print mode selection using 5 distinct selectors: Resolution, Pass number and print direction, Dot type, Dot size, and Passmask pattern (RIPC).
The print mode to use depends on the used substrate and inks, so it is up to you to determine the print mode to use by testing the different combinations of the print mode selectors.
Warning
Not all print modes are linearized or profiled by default, so the output might not be optimal from the start.
Resolution and Passes
- Fixed in the resolution name, refers to a fixed-dot (1 bit per pixel) mode. All other modes are 2 bits per pixel.
- The passes might be Unidirectional or Bidirectional.
- Note that PassMask Overlap may or may not be available depending on whether the mode in question uses RIPC by default. Usually, modes with a PassMask Overlap are slower, but stitching between passes is smoother.
- Please refer to Passes, rather than Passes/Line for the actual number of passes.

- Fixed in the resolution name, refers to a fixed-dot (1 bit per pixel) mode. All other modes are 2 bits per pixel.
- The passes might be Unidirectional or Bidirectional. Also, the number of passes is selectable from 2 to 32 (according to the resolution).
- Note that PassMask Overlap may or may not be available depending on whether the mode in question uses RIPC by default. Usually, modes with a PassMask Overlap are slower, but stitching between passes is smoother.

Loading
The Dimensor S(G) are roll-fed printers that support the following media sizes:
|
|
Custom and Auto Loading with EasySelect
EasySelect is the capability for CalderaRIP to use the size and type of loaded media in the printer.
This printer supports 2 levels of selection:
- CustomLoading: uses a custom size (sheet or roll) defined at last moment in the Print module interface.
- AutoLoading: uses the size of the media currently loaded in the printer.
Media
These drivers come with only a default media not calibrated.
Discover how to manage media with EasyMedia by clicking here.
Mode
- Gray
- CMYK
Action
Available actions are:
- Print: This action rips and prints the file simultaneously.
- RIP: Rips the file and holds it in the Spooler.
- RIP then Print: Rips the entire file, and then sends the file to print.
- Nest: This action nests all images sent to the printer and holds them in the Spooler.
Keep Ripped file (only available with "Print" and "Rip then Print" actions). When this box is checked, the sent file remains in the Spooler so you can reprint the job later on.
