    • Layouts: For a printer to be configured Layouts specify the different layouts a user can use while printing through that printer. For eg. for a printer dummyFlexiFilmer if the layout specified is 1x1 and 2x2 then the user can use only these two layouts when trying to print any film using the printer dummyFlexiFilmer through FlexiFilmer.

      How to validate the chosen layouts: Please note this is only applicable when the user has selected the Grid layout mode in FlexiFilmer. Trying to use any layout other than the ones specified during configuration for a printer, printing will not be allowed and the user will be shown an error message.

    • Film size: For a printer to be configured Film size specifies the size of the film as supported by the printer. The film size as seen in the FlexiFilmer UI will change according to the selected film size for the selected printer.

      How to validate the chosen film size: The user can specify one or more film sizes supported by the printer and can choose one of them while actual printing using the FlexiFilmer UI. The same is explained through the screen shots attached with the mail. If there is only one film size specified then the same will be displayed (and locked for change) in the FlexiFilmer UI.
