Create And Download Macros - Oki C5300n User Manual

CREATE AND DOWNLOAD MACROS

1. From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device Manager
(SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer.
2. Choose Printers→New Project to start a new project.
3. Choose Printers→Filter Macro File. The Filter Printer Patterns
dialogue box appears. Make any adjustments in the settings
that you need and then click OK.
Example: If you create a black oval in MS Paint and leave all the
colour command filters checked, the black oval will print as a
black rectangle when the overlay is used. To maintain the oval
shape, turn off (deselect) the "Configure Image Data," "Palette
ID" and "Palette Control" filters.
4. Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN Files(*.prn).
5. Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are stored
and select one or more of these to include in your overlay set.
You can have more than one macro file in a project. For
example, one for top pages and another for continuation
pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl keys) to
select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.
6. Click Open to add these files to the current project. (You can
also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer directly into
the project window if you prefer.) When a message box
appears confirming that a filter file has been created, click OK
to clear the message.
7.
The project window will display one .BIN file for each printer
file added. Make a careful note of the name and ID number for
each of the files. You will need them later.
If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click the
file entry and edit the details. Volume details are as follows:
0 = printer's disk drive PCL partition;
1 = printer's disk drive Common partition;
%disk0% = printer's disk drive PostScript partition;
2 = flash memory PCL
%Flash0% = flash memory PostScript
