Creating .prn Files (Spectrum2 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 Standalone can use for
printing. Follow the instructions below
to create a .prn.
•
When a label file is saved in
Spectrum2 Designer it is given a
.S2D extension. This format is not
usable by the Scribe EC Standalone.
You will however want to save your
label as a .S2D for future editing
(fig. A).
•
To create a .prn you must use the
Print feature after you have created
your label.
•
Make sure that the Spectrum2
printer is selected in the name box.
•
Select the Print to file option (fig.
B).
•
Give your file a name (fig. C).
•
Select the Labels folder that the you
will use as your default, and print
the file to this folder (fig. C).
•
After creating PRN file, you must
give your PRN file the name 1.prn
and burn this file to a CD.

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.
