Label printing, generating print jobs.
For printing labels the operator has two options:
Print label from a labelling/graphical or other software
Print labels from print jobs.
Printing labels from softwares
Printing labels from any kind of software is quite easy. The operator just needs to set all
prefrences within the Vortex850R Series Driver (paper size, printing speed, number of
copies, etc.)
Printing labels from print jobs.
To help the whole process it is recommended to install the driver on the personal
computer then change the following:
Go to Start/Devices and Printer
Right click on Vortex850R Series
Go to Printer Configuration
Go to Ports tab
Change port from TCP/IP to FILE (or Print to File)
NOTE:
When saving a print job don’t forget to put ’.prn’ at the end of the filename because
the driver won’t do it automatically!
Print jobs are pre-defined jobs which for later use. The Vortex850R printer works with
with .PRN files which can be generated with the driver of the printer. All .PRN files must
be uploaded to the printer to this location:
D:\Vortex850R\Labels
A JPG thumbnail also needs to be created and copied to the same folder for each print job.
Try to use a descriptive name for the print jobs (for the .PRN and JPG as well).
For example: barcode_6ips_21labels_150x100.prn/jpg barcode – description of the label
6ips – printing speed
21labels – number of copies
150x100 – media size
NOTE:
Liberty
needs both the .PRN files and the JPG files from Liberty. If one of these files
is missing either have an error message appears or the print job won’t be available at all!
