Storage locations for transferring files

The MarkWare application provides an export feature that prepares document and template files for use on your label printing system. See the MarkWare User’s Guide for more information.

It’s a good idea to use a centralized area in the MarkWare directory structure to store the files you want to transfer to your label printing system. For convenience, we suggest you use the \Download directory, which is part of the main \MarkWare directory, at the same directory level as the \Program directory.

Table 12-1 below provides locations for files on both your PC and your printing system, and assumes you are using the \Download directory on the PC to organize the files you want to transfer to your label printing system.

Important! Your label printing system recognizes only files with the file extensions shown in Table 12-1, which are also located in the folders shown in Figure 12-6 on page 12- 11.

TABLE 12-1.File extensions and locations for downloading files

File Type	Transfer From:	Transfer To:
	(PC Location)	(Printing System)
Template files	\Download	\My Templates
	\Templates	\Templates
		\Default category name
Document files	\Download	\My Templates
	\Documents	\Templates

The MarkWare application places files in the \Download\Templates directory when you export template files, and in the \Download\Documents directory when you export document files.
