I’m trying to create a fully automated barcode workflow for a Summa S3 tangential cutter and can’t seem to find a solution.
Our setup uses Caldera RIP to send cut files to a folder as a directory. Summa GoSign’s barcode workflow successfully scans the barcode, finds the correct file, and opens it without issue.
The problem is that after opening the file, the cutter positions the camera all the way to the far right instead of moving to the first registration mark. Because of this, I have to manually jog the head to the first mark for every print, which breaks the automation.
I’m trying to figure out how to make the cutter automatically move to the first mark after the barcode is scanned so the workflow can be truly hands-free. I haven’t been able to find a clear answer on any forums—has anyone solved this?
