5-2. Creating Print Data from Graphix Lab
5-2-1. What is Graphix Lab?
Graphix Lab is the software application for creating and saving layout data and print data of the GTX-4 printer. Its intuitive
operation enables you to lay out images and text and create data. It is also able to create a layout data that contains the
transparent information (
α
channel).
Layout data can be created and saved through the use of Graphix Lab, and data files will be stored in ".gtpl" format.
In addition, the GTX-4 printer driver must be installed beforehand for creating and saving print data.
<TIPS>
Graphix Lab
can also output print data for GT-3 (to AR3 file). When outputting data for GT-3, job comment can be entered by
configuring it on the printer driver. Job comment cannot be specified when outputting data for GTX-4.
When
both
PDIP
and
Graphix Lab
are available,
Graphix Lab
only should be used. Operating both PDIP and Graphix Lab at the
same time may cause a functional error.
There is "Graphix Lab Basic" that can be used for 32-bit PC. For details, please refer to "Graphix Lab Basic Instruction Manual".
