Creating Discs on a PC
JPG,BMP,TIF files
These are nonproprietary standard file types that can be
created with most graphics programs on PC or Mac using
the "Save as" or "Export" command.
PRN files
These 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 Publisher,
to a *.prn file. Adobe Illustrator 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.
Note:
You must change the port back to the USB port before you can print.
F. USING KIOSK MODE
Kiosk Mode allows you to use both of the Publisher Bins as
input, doubling your disc capacity from 50 discs to 100 discs.
In this mode, the finished discs will be deposited out through
the front "reject area" of the Publisher. In Kiosk mode all discs
would be ejected in this manner. Rejects can be identified in the
stack because they will not be printed in the same manner as
successfully recorded discs. Primera Technology offers an
optional Kiosk Mode Kit that contains a third output bin to
collect the discs. To install the kiosk kit refer to the Kiosk Kit
manual. This kit is available through your reseller. To enable
Kiosk Mode, Open PTPublisher - select
Options
from the Tools
menu - find the
Options
tab - now check the Kiosk Mode box.
