Export Printer Code Template Dialog

Use the Export Printer Code Template dialog, which you can access on the File menu, to generate a printer code template by using a specified print system. You can also specify whether the formatting and data information should be combined into a single printer code template or split into two separate files.

The following options are available:

Print System: Specifies the print system that BarTender uses to create the printer code template.
More Options: Opens the Printer Code Template Options dialog.

Output

To Port: Sends the exported printer code template to the port that is used by the current printer, keyboard terminal, XML-enabled printer, or ERP system.
All in One File: Exports a single printer code template that contains the printer formatting information and data. The printer code template is saved as the file that is specified in the File Name field. Alternatively, you can browse to the destination directory by clicking Browse.
Separate Format & Data Files: Produces separate printer code templates for the formatting information and the data that is contained in the document. This option can improve printer performance by eliminating the need for the formatting information to be sent to the printer with each print job that is run. The printer code templates are saved as the files that are specified in the Format File and Data File fields. Alternatively, you can browse to the destination directory by clicking Browse.
Printer Code Only: Instructs BarTender to produce a formatting information file that is written only in the language of the printer. When you use this option, the exported format file can be sent to the printer without any further processing by any print system.

Clear this option when you want to ensure that the format file contains all the delimiters that are specified on the Delimiter tab of the Printer Code Template Setup dialog.
Export: Exports the printer code template. Before BarTender creates the printer code templates, it scans for errors. If errors are found, you are prompted to fix or ignore them by using the Verification Messages dialog.
