Custom 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

  Info

This driver comes with only a default media not calibrated. It is possible to manage other media from scratch through our EasyMedia module and/or to synchronize media from Epson Edge Dashboard.

 

Media synchronization

To synchronize media from EPSON Edge Dashboard, you need to enter the serial number of the printer in CalderaRIP.

Go to ServerAdmin, select your printer, and click Configure. Then, access the Connection tab. Here, fill in the Serial/Printer Name field with the serial number of your printer:

Once the previous process is done, you will be able to synchronize media in EasyMedia. For more information:

  Warning

It is not possible to import EMX files in EasyMedia. Please contact Epson for questions related to this topic.

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.
