How Can I Print Faster ?
CADCAM Software for All Woven Textiles

A printer "scaling" factor is provided in ScotWeave which will apply a scale factor to reduce the effective resolution of the printer resulting is smaller print files and faster printing. You can test this feature to see if it will work for you as follows -

In Dobby or Jacquard Designer open a design then select the File - Print option as normal. OK the standard Windows print dialog then look at the print parameters dialog shown below -

In the lower left corner of this dialog is the Print Scaling control,shown in detail below

Increase the Scale factor value above to activate printer scaling. As you increase this value you will see the Effective dpi value decrease to show the effect of printer scaling. Experiment with different values here to get the best trade off between print speed and quality.

Once you have determined the best scale factor to use you can apply this permanently by using the procedure below. Once this has been done the scale factor will be applied automatically.

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
