Nature of
Problem :
When running ScotWeave
Yarn Designer on a Local Area Network you enter and save PCR values
for a yarn on one workstation but when you open the yarn on another
workstation the PCR values are not there.
Solution
:
This problem will arise if the ScotWeave Printer is setup
differently on each workstation. ScotWeave can hold more than one
set of PCR values for each yarn in order to support multiple printer
installations. The printer driver name is used to index into the
correct set of PCR values. If each workstation has a different printer
driver name then it will index into a different set of PCR values
thus producing the problem described above.
To display the
current printer driver name
1. Start the
ScotWeave Yarn Designer program
2. Select File - Open to open
an yarn file and select any yarn
3. Look above the colour wheel at the lower left of the
screen
4. The current ScotWeave printer name is displayed here 
Repeat the above
procedure on each network workstation and make a note of the printer
name at each workstation. They should all be identical. If any printer
names are different then you must change them as follows -
1. Install
the Windows printer driver that you will be using
2. Start ScotWeave as normal
3. Select Setup & Print then
Setup
4. Select Configure - ScotWeave Printers
- Add a Printer
5. Select the printer driver installed at Step 1
6. Select Configure - ScotWeave Printers
- Default Printer
7. Select the printer driver installed at Step 1
8. Select Files - Save to
save your changes
Important
Note:
When sharing a printer across a network and installing printer drivers
ensure that the Windows printer driver name is identical
on each workstation. Some printers come with different drivers which
have slightly different driver names. For example -
HP Business
Inkjet 2230/2280
HP Business Inkjet 2230/2280 PCL5
These two printer
driver names are similar but not identical therefore they
would be treated as two different printers by ScotWeave. The driver
names must be identical in order for the system to operate correctly.
