Printing From Other Programs - Primera Eddie PT-E763-001 User Manual

4D Printing from Other Programs
Since this printer uses a standard Windows printer driver you can print from any application
you would like. There are just a few things to remember that will make it much easier.
1. Set the Page/Label Size in the Driver. BarTender automatically prompts you for the size
of the print. When printing from any other program you must do this manually. Before
you print, simply set the custom page size just as you would set print quality in the
printing preferences. In the example below the label size is 3.3" x 3.3" so the custom
page size is set to 330 x 330 (displayed in .01 inch units).
2. Check the image or document size. The image size or document size set in Illustrator
should match to the Page Size set in the driver. If you have set your page size to 3" x 3"
but your image is actually 4" x 3" the printer driver will automatically shrink your image
to fit inside the 3" x 3" space. The result is that the actual printed label is 3" x 2.25".
Avoid this by setting your document size or image size to match the label size.
Choose the right printing program. There are many different applications that are

capable of printing to the Eddie. However, there are only a few that are ideal printing
applications. For example, Adobe Illustrator is an excellent design program but is not
always the best printing program.
