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 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 program. You will
however want to save your label as an
.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 the SCRIBE EC will use
as it’s default, and print the file to this
folder (fig. D)

Click OK

Note:

Prior to Printing please make sure
that the Print directly to the
printer
function is activated within
the printer settings.

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.
