Printing Your Document

After the design is completed, you are ready to print your document. Depending on how your production environment is set up, you can print from a number of different applications in BarTender.

If this occurs, you may need to modify your design to match the new printer and media before you print.

On the File menu, click Print to open the Print dialog. Alternatively, click the icon on the main toolbar.
Confirm that the correct printer is selected.
