Print File Graphics
PJColor can generate a print file that may be sent to the printer in any emulation and
print graphics.
To generate a print file.
1) Start PJColor
2) Under Settings, select the Epic 880TM printer. Then select the emulation that
machines the printer.
3) Select the resolution you would like to have the printer use to print the graphics.
Low resolutions are faster, high resolutions produce better graphics.
4) Load the graphics image you wish to print.
5) Select the communications port and configuration.
6) Set the secondary color to NONE.
7) Adjust the image to produce the effect you would like. The lower graphic window
displays an approximation of the printed image.
8) When you are satisfied with the graphic, press the "Print to a File" button. PJColor
will ask what file you would like to receive the print data.
9) This file can be sent to the printer and the graphic will be printed.
