Creating .prn Files (Inkjet 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 SA
Standalone
can use for printing. Follow the
instructions below to create a .prn.
•
When a label file is saved in
Sure Thing
it is given a .std extension. This format is
not usable by the Scribe SA Standalone.
You will however want to save your
label as a .std for future editing

After creating PRN file, you must give
your PRN file the name 1.prn and burn
this file to a CD. A second idea is to use
the Command Module Application (SA
Client and transmit your PRN file across
your network, see

Standalone Client Application.

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.
