This procedure
should be carried out if you change the printer you are using for
ScotWeave printouts and wish to enter a new set of PCR values for
yarns matched to the new printer.
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.
How This
Works
ScotWeave yarn
files are like databases of information on yarns. For each in the
yarn file the screen HSV values and printer PCR values are stored.
In addition to this, more then one set of PCR values can be stored
for each yarn - one set for each printer the yarn has been matched
to. The printer driver name is stored in the yarn file and the PCR
values are referenced to this name.
When you change
to a new printer and carry out the procedure above, ScotWeave will
add the new printer name to each yarn file whenever it is next edited.
The PCR values for the previous printer remain unchanged but any
new PCR values will be referenced to the new printer.
You can automatically
match all yarns in all yarn files to approximate PCR values. This
will prevent any unmatched yarns from being printed and allow you
to manually re-enter PCR values for the yarns at your leisure. Click
