Print to File

There may be times when you do not want to send your document directly to the printer. You may want to print your document using the Media Server or store your document as a print file (with the specific feature settings) to a hard drive. There are three ways to do this—through your printer driver, your application software, or your operating system. For information about how to Print to File using your application software or your operating system, consult your specific software or operating system manuals.

When you Print to File using your C55 printer driver, the printer driver creates a file which contains the contents of your document and the feature settings you have selected. If you Print to File after making selections in the C55 color features, you must print the document on a C55 printer in order for those features to be implemented in your document. This file will be saved as either a PostScript or PCL 5C file depending upon the driver that is being used.

Choose Print to File after all other print options have been selected. You can save the file onto a disk so that it can be transported to a C55 printer to be printed using the Media Server, or you can save the file to any available hard drive to be stored for later use. (This feature is not available in all drivers.) Your file must fit on one floppy disk to use the Media Server.

NOTE: If you are saving the file as a PostScript file, make sure you have a C55mp printer or that your printer has the optional PostScript Upgrade Kit installed.
