D. CREATING PRINT FILES
.PRN files 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 Duplicator, to a .prn file. SureThing Disc Labeler 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.
Please Note: When printing and burning simultaneously, it is highly
recomended to use PRN files as described above. This is the least
taxing method of printing for your CPU allowing the vast majority
of your computer's resources to be devoted to the successful recording
of discs.
