Creating a RISORINC-format file

Working with the Priter Driver

Creating RISORINC Files Using the Layout Feature

When using the [Layout] function (Page 48), files cannot be properly created in the usual way. Create

RISORINC files from a Local Port.

■ Adding a Local Port for RISORINC Files

1 Open [Printers and Faxes] or [Printer] from the Control Panel.

2 Select the RISO Printer Driver and open the properties.

3 Open the [Port] tab.

4 Click [Add Port].

5 Select [Local Port] and click [New Port].

6 The [Name Port] dialog box opens, therefore input the drive where to store the RISORINC

file (i.e., C:\) and the file name (i.e.,RISORINC.prn), and click [OK].

If “C:\RISO\RISORINC.prn” is input for [Port Name], the file named RISORINC.prn is saved in

the C drive.

■ Selecting a Local Port for RISORINC Files

1 Open [Printers and Faxes] or [Printer] from the Control Panel.

2 Select the RISO Printer Driver and open the properties.

3 Open the [Port] tab.

4 Place a check mark in the check box of the Local Port for RISORINC files that was added

under [Print Port], and [OK].

IMPORTANT!

After creating the RISORINC file using the [Layout] feature, restore the usual print port in the same

way you set the Local Port.

It is convenient to install two RISO Printer Drivers and register one for printer output and the other for

RISORINC Files.

■ Outputting RISORINC Files

1 Open the [Print] dialog box.

Open the original data to convert to RISORINC format, and select [Print] from the [File] menu.

2 Check print conditions.

Check that the RISO Printer Driver in which the Local Port has been selected for RISORINC

files appears in the [Printer Name] list.

3 Output to file.

Remove the check mark from the [Print to file] check box and click [OK]. The file is saved

under the name and drive set for the Local Port.

IMPORTANT!

• Remove the check mark from the [Print to file] check box. Data is automatically output to a file.

• To output other original data, either move or rename the currently saved RISORINC file.

If output as is, the saved file is overwritten.
