Solution :
Some of these problems may be caused by insufficient printer memory to allow full pages to be composed on the printer correctly, or the inability of the Postscript driver to correctly handle the large file sizes involved.

An option has been added to ScotWeave which allow pages to be scaled down in size at image generation time which will greatly reduce the file sizes and print times. However, this is achieved at the expense of resolution so that some detail and sharpness may be lost from the final printout.

You can test this option by selecting a dobby or jacquard to print as normal. When you see the ScotWeave printer setup dialog box (the one that allows you to enter warp/weft setting values etc.) look at the bottom left corner of the dialog.

Here you will see an item called Printer Scaling. Change the Scale factor value to be "2" and note how this reduces the Effective dpi for the printer. Continue with the print as normal.

If this change results in an acceptable printout, then you can either use this option every time you print or you can set the default "Scale factor" as follows -

Start the ScotWeave Setup program
Select Configure - ScotWeave Printers - Advanced
Set the Use printer scaling check box ON
Enter the required value for the Printer Scaling Factor

If you also have problems printing library pages then

Set the Use alternative library page layout check box ON
Set the Page Scaling Factor to "5"

Now save the changed configuration using the File - Save menu option.
