When you change the ScotWeave default printer, ScotWeave will automatically setup new PCR printer libraries for each yarn file which will initially be empty. Since most colour printers have different colour ranges it would not normally be appropriate to use the same PCR values matched for one printer for another printer, since you would get different colours printed out.

Sometimes, however, there may be a case for applying the same PCR values for different printers. This might be the case for two similar printer models from the same manufacturer (with the same inks and colour range) or where the Windows printer driver name is different for the same printer (this can happen when connecting a network printer or using a different Windows version but the same printer).

In these cases you might want to apply the existing, matched PCR values to a different printer name. This can be done using the following procedure. First you must change the ScotWeave default printer to the new printer that you wish to use. Click here to see how this is done.

1. Start Yarn Designer as normal
2. Select File - Yarn File Tools - Remap Library
3. Now select a yarn file to be remapped

A dialog will now appear. This dialog shows the names of all of the printers to which the current yarn file has been matched, along with the number of yarns in the yarn file matched to each printer. A checkbox will be seen beside each printer name.

4. Click the checkbox of the printer whose PCR values will be used.
5. You can remap this file only or all files in the current folder
6. Click the radio button to decide which files will be remapped
7. Click on the Remap Library button
