Driver history
-
CalderaRIP V17
- Correction of an error in the diameter of the registration marks. Now the marks have the expected diameter in the output DXF file generated with the driver.
-
CalderaRIP V16.1.2
- Update of tools selection. The driver now uses the tool index instead of the tool ID. Also, the cut files now include the position of the QR codes to improve accuracy.
-
CalderaRIP V15.1.2
- The "Force rotation" option is now available in the Cutter tools configuration.
-
CalderaRIP V15.1.1
- The extra marks at the origin now appear if the job is bigger than 70cm in at least one of the dimensions, whereas before the size of the job had to be above 1m in both dimensions.
-
CalderaRIP V15.1.0
- Verso CNC cutters supported

Marks
Marks for Verso cutters are 5mm rounds. Extra marks are added near the origin if one of the dimensions exceeds 700mm, improving marks detection for big jobs.
Materials and methods association
As there is no automatic synchronization available with the cutter controller, you can associate manually materials and methods between CalderaRIP and the controller of your cutter, by applying the following steps.
Note that you will need to update manually this file every time you modify your cutter controller configuration.
Info
If you drive more than one Verso cutter with your workstation, in other words, more than one Verso cutter in the CalderaRIP's interface, you must do this for each cutter, as they may have different settings.
Manually retrieve the template file for materials content
1. Go to the following folder: /opt/caldera/lib/DRIVERS/MISC
2. Find the file named Verso.materialsRaw.xml
3. Copy/paste this file into the folder: /opt/caldera/lib/shared
4. If the name of the .xml file does not match the name that you defined for your cutter on CalderaRIP, you have to rename it as follows: CutterName.materialsRaw.xml with CutterName = name of the cutter defined in CalderaRIP.
Example
For this cutter, the .xml file name would be: CutterVerso.materialsRaw.xml
Manually edit the template file for materials content with data from your controller
1. Open the .xml file with text editing software like TextEdit on macOS. You will have the following default content:
2. Do not edit the DEFAULT section. Do not change method names, ID numbers, or even colors. It must remain as it is the .DXF cut file will be generated with a pre-defined list for each tool.
3. To add a material, duplicate this DEFAULT section. Then change the material name with the name displayed in the controller's interface, and change the GUID which is the unique ID of the material, depending on your needs. Note that the material name can be the same for several materials, but GUID must be unique for each.
4. Remove the methods that you do not need. Do not change the method name, either ID or colors.
5. Save the file. Thus you will be able to recover your methods and your materials in the Cutter tools configuration window of CalderaRIP.
Example
Warning
Keep the DEFAULT material. This DEFAULT material will be used to catch all contours that have not been associated with another method in another material. Failing to do so may result in missing contours in the generated files if an association between the contour name and a method is missing for another material.
Materials and media association
1. In the Cutter tools configuration window, go to the Materials tab. This will allow you to match the printer's media with cutter materials you have created before. If there is only a default media (Plain Paper), discover how to manage media with EasyMedia by clicking here.
2. By clicking Edit, associate manually the media and the materials that you have edited in the .xml file.
Methods and contours association
Please refer to the Methods part of this article to see how to associate methods and contour names in the Cutter tools configuration interface.
Warning
Do not forget to associate the "*" filter for DEFAULT material to an available method (Methods tab). This will act as a collector for all contours that may not have been associated properly. Failing to do this may result in missing contours in generated files.
