SDM to discover the printer.

2. Choose Projects > Add File to Project.

3. Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn).

4. Navigate to the folder where the.PRN files are stored and select one or more of

these to include in your overlay set.

You can have more than one printer (.PRN) file in a project. For example, one for

top pages and another for continuation pages. Use standard Windows techniques

(Shift or Ctrl keys) to select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.

5. Click Open to add these files to the current project.

6. When a message box appears confirming that a filter file has been created, click

OK to clear the message.

7. The project window will display one.HST file for each printer file added. Make a

careful note of each of these names. Ensure that you note them exactly as they

appear, they are case sensitive, and you will need them later.

8. Choose Projects > Save Project and enter a meaningful name (e.g. “Letter

Stationery”) so that you can recognize it later if you want to modify it.

prefer to download to flash memory, double-click the file name in the Project

window and under Volume, type in %Flash0% and then click OK.

10.When the message “Command Issued” appears confirming that the download is

complete, click OK to clear the message.
