What is PRN file of a bar-code printer ?

Dear Professionlas,

We have installed a new bar-code Printer (SANTO-CG408TT) in our Library.

For it's setting with Library Automated software it needs PRN file of the printer.

I search in the CD-ROM  which was with the printer.

I can't understand PRN file.

Where is it's location ?

What is it?

Please help me to know more regarding the above.

waiting ur reply.........

thanks & regards,

NIRANJAN

You may try this:

 1. Make sample of the information you wants to print as Barcode With the help of Software comes with barcode printer

 2. Print this sample in "Print as File" option you will find in Printer setup Or Print Setting

3. "After a little intensive digging around, I'd found three solutions to accessing files printed using the 'print to file' functionality:

  • GSView: This only works if the printer is a postscript printer. The printer in question was not.
  • Many suggestions on adding a dummy text only printer and printing to that. While, this is not applicable in my case, this is apparently a good way of being able to view text documents (via any editor) that have been printed.
  • PCL Reader, a freeware application that does exactly what everybody wants: view and convert .prn and similar files (with support for a wide variety of printers etc.).

So PCL Reader it was. It allows you to save the the prn file as a PNG, BMP, TIF, PCX or a PDF and worked out of the box for me. But if it doesn't, I reckon that creating a dummy printer that the program does support, will allow you to print to file and be able to view it on your PC". -- courtsey from web

Have not been tested. See if works.
