Creating Discs on a PC 23
Your Publisher will support two types of print files in
PrimoDVD 2.1:
• *.STD - SureThing CD Labeler
• *.PRN - Print files created through the Publisher
Printer Driver
*.STD files
As described earlier, these are files created in SureThing CD
Labeler. This is the recommended file type for printing as it
offers the most flexibility.
.PRN files
These are files created from virtually any Windows graphics
application. Instead of printing to a printer, you print to file.
In some programs, you can print directly from that software's
Print screen, through the correct printer driver software for the
brand and model of printer you've installed on your Publisher,
to a *.prn file. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW! are
examples of such programs. Most of the popular, higher-end
graphics applications give you this option of printing directly
to a file.
If your graphics software does not allow a direct print to a file,
you will need to go into your Windows Control Panel, Printers
where you will be able to select File from your list of available
printer ports. This will enable the driver to print to a PRN file
from any application.
Note: You must change the port back to the USB port before you can print.
D. USING PRIMODVD TO CREATE YOUR DISCS
Now that you have a design for your disc, you are ready
to publish.
The example given in this chapter is for a simple audio CD
copying job using PrimoDVD software . Please refer to the
Help file accessible from Primo's Help Menu for further
information on recording discs.
