GT-3 Series
4. Printing Directly from Applications
55
Print Layout:
Your printer has a large print area 14x16 inches (35 x 40 cm). Any application has a rule to do the layout in
printing, e.g. Microsoft Internet Explore sets the artwork at the center top, and Microsoft Power Point does at the
center middle. The GT-3 Printer does not have Letter or A4 paper size. To avoid this issue, please set the paper
size as 14x16 inches (35 x 40 cm) and do the layout manually by yourself. Use GT-3 FileOutput Printer Driver to
see the final layout with GT File Viewer.
We recommend that GT-3 Printer should be your PC's default printer. See the last section of "3-3-3. Connection
with USB 2.0 Cable: for Windows XP" or "3-3-6. Connection with USB 2.0 Cable: for Windows Vista / Windows
7".
How to make White data:
Printer Driver makes either White-only print data or Color-on-White-mask (under base) print data from one image
data. When you print colorful image by selecting "White-only", then the output is monochrome. Set RGB=254
white for white image. RGB-255 (paper color) is transparent with no ink printed. When there are some spots in
RGB=255 color in a photo, e.g. those spots will never be printed. Use GT-3 FileOutput Printer Driver to see the
final layout with GT File Viewer. As for the operations for each application, refer to the following pages or
application help.
Print Cancel:
Your printer does not start printing until you press the Print Button; The printer memory only holds one print job
data at any time.
<Important!>
Do not use canceling command from “Printer and Faxes (for Windows XP)” / “Printers (for Windows Vista)” /
"Devices and Printers (for Windows 7”) / "View devices and printers (for Windows 8)" in “Control Panel”. Doing so
causes an error and you may have to restart your printer.
Print AR3 files:
Use “GT-3 FileOutput” Printer Driver, which saves print data in AR3 format. With this you can see the detailed
print conditions and estimated ink cost. See “5. Printing AR3 Files.” for the details.
<Important!>
Do not use “Print to File” command in the applications’ Print window. File extension may be different.
<Note>
You cannot print GT-541/GT-782 print data (ARP files) with GT-3.
The settings of printer driver may be applied for one print; it depends on the application.
The settings made with Control Panel of your PC sometimes may not be applied to the application. If so, make
the settings again in the menu of printer driver; these are applied to the actual settings.
