INDEX

Your Publisher will support two types of print files in

PrimoDVD 2.1:

*.STD - SureThing CD Labeler

*.PRN - Print files created through the Publisher Printer Driver

*.STD files

As described earlier, these are files created in SureThing CD Labeler. This is the recommended file type for printing as it offers the most flexibility.

.PRN files

These are files created from virtually any Windows graphics application. Instead of printing to a printer, you print to file. In some programs, you can print directly from that software's Print screen, through the correct printer driver software for the brand and model of printer you've installed on your Publisher, to a *.prn file. Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW! are examples of such programs. Most of the popular, higher-end graphics applications give you this option of printing directly to a file.

If your graphics software does not allow a direct print to a file, you will need to go into your Windows Control Panel, Printers where you will be able to select File from your list of available printer ports. This will enable the driver to print to a PRN file from any application.

Note: You must change the port back to the USB port before you can print.

Now that you have a design for your disc, you are ready to publish.
