Creating .prn Files (Inkjet Printer)
Create a .prn by printing the document
to a file instead of routing it directly to
a printer. You will be prompted to
specify the filename and location. This
puts the document in a format that the
Scribe EC Standalone can use for
printing. Follow the instructions below
to create a .prn.
• When a label file is saved in Sure
Thing it is given a .std extension.
This format is not usable by the
Scribe EC Standalone. You will
however want to save your label as
a .std for future editing (fig. A).
• To create a .prn you must use the
Print feature after you have created
your label.
• Select the Inkjet printer (fig. B)
• Click Advanced (fig. B)
• Click Print to file (fig. C)
• Click OK
• Type in the full path to the Labels
folder that you will use as your
default label folder, and print the
file to this folder (fig. D)
• Click OK
• After creating PRN file, you must
give your PRN file the name 1.prn
and burn this file to a CD.
Note:
A .prn file cannot be edited. It contains
information to create the image, and the
settings of the particular printer.
I
f any o
f
the settings of the printer are changed, a
new .prn file must be generated.
