Downloading the print file to use as an overlay

In the previous topic, you created a print (PRN) file on your PC's hard disk. This topic explains how to use the Storage Device Manager to download this file to the printer.

The Storage Device Manager software is included with the original software CDs that were supplied with your printer.

1.Launch Storage Device Manager.

Allow the program to discover (locate) the printer.

2.Click Project. Click New Project.

3.From the Project menu, select Add File to Project.

4.Select the PRN file(s) that you created earlier. PCL: This automatically generates a BIN file.

PostScript: This automatically generates a PostScript hst file.

Important!

At this step, look in the project window. The BIN file is assigned an ID number.

You can change this ID number by double-clicking it. Enter a new one in the ID field.

5.Note the name that the file is assigned in the Storage Device Manager. Names are case sensitive.

NOTE

The assigned file name is very important! You must use this ID number or name when creating overlays in the printer driver. You should change the ID number or name from the default value. Note the new name for later use.
