After installing priPrinter, it will automatically integrate a virtual printer into the Windows Print function. To send the content of the file to priPrinter, open the file with the usual application, then select Print and choose the priPrinter printer. Then press OK to export the file content to .priPrinter format.
Example: In Word, click on File, then Print.
In the Printer section, select priPrinter:
As soon as you click Print in Word and successfully export the file, priPrinter will automatically start and display the content of the file to be printed.
Step 3: You can change the way to view the print content on the main interface of priPrinter by selecting View -> 3D. The print pages will be displayed in 3D document format, similar to when you print on paper.
Additionally, in this View section, you can view the printed pages with various other options such as:
Single Page: View each page individually.
Continuous: Arrange printed pages from top to bottom.
Facing: Arrange each row with four printed pages.
Facing Continuous: Display each row with four printed pages from top to bottom.
If you notice any errors or inaccuracies in the content while viewing, you can directly edit them on priPrinter without opening the original file. Click on Insert, choose Page Select, then click on Select Text, and click on the text segment needing correction.
To move content on the printed page, select Insert -> Page Select -> Page Select, then drag and drop the content to any position on the printed page.
priPrinter comes with a variety of attractive print templates for you to choose from when printing documents. From Page Layout, select Themes. If you want to explore more templates, choose Browse for Theme, then navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\priPrinter files\Themes (where username is your Windows login name). Then select a print template from the list and click Open.
By default, the program always leaves a reasonable space for binding, and the position of the binding may vary depending on the print template. To accurately determine the binding position, you can select Page Layout -> Gutters -> Show Gutters On/Off.
Once the binding position appears, you can adjust the binding size visually by hovering over the binding edge, dragging and dropping the edge to create a suitable space for the printed content.
