We just got a new CET flatbed, and we went with Caldera for the RIP. Now, I'm trying to get Caldera and our Kongsberg iXL-24 to play nicely together. My problem is that the cut files from Caldera are not the correct orientation. I have to manually rotate everything 90 degrees counter clockwise so the orientation of the cut lines match the orientation of the sheet on the table. I've tried using the i-script cutter and the generic cut file cutter in Caldera, but both of these output the wrong orientation. Plus, on top of that, the generic cut file cutter didn't generate a long enough barcode (8 characters vs. 12). It seems odd to me that it is so hard to get it working, because the orientation of the sheet on-screen in Caldera matches the on-screen orientation in i-cut, but Caldera assumes the orientation is different and there is no way to tell it otherwise. The length of the sheet is horizontal, and the width is vertical on-screen in Caldera, the CET controller, and i-cut.
Does anyone else have this particular setup? What I want to be able to do is have the cutter read the barcode, and then automatically load and run the file, but with the rotation being wrong, that doesn't work.
