What is a PRN File? PRN file format contains instruction sets for printers. This format specifies and instructs the printers many controls, like what to print on the page, what the paper size is, which paper tray to use, etc. This format gets created automatically by the printer drivers when a printing command is given. To print a PRN file in Windows, use the Command Line interface: Start menu-Run-'cmd'. In Mac OS X, PRN files are printed by dragging the file to the desktop printer icon. In case the printer is connected via USB, type: COPY /B filename.prn Computer NameShared Printer Name If the printer is connected via an older parallel port connection. Right click in Devcies and Printers, select See What's Printing; Select Pause Printing. Next, open the spool directory ( C: Windows System32 spool PRINTERS ) to watch for the spool file after it enters the queue. Print your document through the print queue. Look for files with an extension of.spl in the directory: Email the spool file to.
The 'Print to file' feature sends the label image to the Zebra driver, which converts it to a picture, encodes and ZIP-compresses it, and produces a ZPL file where the only payload is that single picture (and several supplementary commands to set label dimensions and print quantity). The various departments each use a separate printer. In this situation, an invoicing application can create, with each invoice, a text file containing both data and a Print Command Script, with the script instructing BarTender to: Open the specified BarTender document. Use the trigger file as the data file. Print to a specific printer.

PRN file format contains instruction sets for printers. This format specifies and instructs the printers many controls, like what to print on the page, what the paper size is, which paper tray to use, etc. This format gets created automatically by the printer drivers when a printing command is given. Normally the process of creating PRN file isn’t visible but users can intercept and keep the file before printing a document. The intercepted PRN files can be opened with another device, even the original application of the document is not required. PRN files retain exact details of how a documents or images should be printed and can be used in CorelDRAW for modification and extraction of original files.
