Printing to a file (PRN)

You will sometimes need to save the print data as a file. You can print the

saved with the printer formatting, such as font selection and color

specifications, in a .prn file that can be printed on another printer.
To save a print job as a file:

1. Check the Print to file box at the Print window.

2. Click Print.
3. Type in the destination path and the file name, and then click OK. For

example c:\Temp\file name.

My Documents. The saved folder may differ depending on your

operating system.
