Creating and Registering a Barcode Area Definition File

Output the original data from the printer driver in
PRN file format. Open the PRN file using the
Barcode Area Definition Software, specify the
barcode area, and create a CSV file.
The administrator uses the RISO Console to
register the barcode area definition file to the
printer.

Procedure

●
1 Creating a PRN File
Output the original with printed barcode in PRN file
format.
1
Click [Properties] (or [Details]) in
the printing dialog box of the
application on the computer.
2
Click the [Basic] tab.
3
Select [Save as a File] in the
[Output] pull-down menu.
• If the optional PostScript kit is installed,
select [Storage].
4
Click [Details], and specify a
destination.
5
Click [OK].
6
Click [Print].
A PRN file is created in the specified destination.
7
If the optional PostScript kit is
installed, use the RISO Console to
download documents saved in the
folder.
Start the RISO Console, select the saved
documents on the [Load] screen in the [Storage]
menu, and then click [Download].
• Configure the same settings for the printer
driver as when you actually print, except for the
[Output] setting. If the PRN file format and the
actual print setting (original size, print direction,
paper size, imposition, etc.) are different, the
barcode area definition may not be correctly
applied. If you change any settings related to
the layout, the coordinates of the area also
change.
• PRN files are output by the printer driver in a
format that was developed exclusively for RISO
KAGAKU CORPORATION. PRN files cannot be
opened using printers or applications by other
manufacturers.
