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
Vantage 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 Vantage program. 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
Vantage will use as it’s default, and
print the file to this folder (fig. C).

Note:
Prior to Printing please make
sure that the Print directly to the
printer function is activated.

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.
