Making a .PRN label file
Next, we will create a “.prn” file 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 can use for printing.
Follow the instructions below to create a
.prn.
•
Use the CD Designer that was included
with your Prism Plus software to create
label. When a label file is saved in CD
Designer it is given a .BTW extension.
This format is not usable by the Scribe
program. You will however want to
save your label as a .BTW for future
editing (Fig. C).
•
To create a “.prn” you must use the
Print feature after you have created
your label. Click on File-Print. In the
NAME text box, be sure the RIMAGE
PERFECT and Select the Print to file
option (Fig D.).
•
Click on Print and give your file a name
(Fig. E.). It is a good idea to Click on
BROWSE and choose the labels folder
defined on the settings TAB of the
Scribe software.
•
Click on PRINT when you are satisfied
and the PRN file will be created. This
file may now be used in the Scribe
software.

Note:. A .prn file cannot be edited. It contains information to create the image, and the settings of the
particular printer. If any of the settings of the printer are changed, a new .prn file must be
generated.
