StarPRNT and Printer Installation
If the Star Printer has already been installed on the system, skip to section 2, Modifying and Storing Graphics.
If the Star Printer has not been installed on the system, it is necessary to install it using the StarPRNT Intelligence Driver at this point in time. For detailed installation instructions, please visit our Help Center page.
Once the printer is installed on the system, return to this application note and skip to section 2, Modifying and Storing Graphics.
Modifying and Storing Graphics
Connect the printer to the PC and turn the power on. StarPRNT should have already been installed at this time.
Click the Windows Start button and navigate StarMicronics > Printer Software > Printer Utility.
Click “Logo Store”.
Click “Add”.
Browse to the location where the graphic to be used is saved on the PC and click “Open”.
The graphic is imported into StarPRNT. Click “Test Print” to print the image.
StarPRNT allows the graphic to be modified directly in the utility. Click “Edit”.
Modify image size, brightness, and dithering levels as desired.
After adjusting the image, click “Test Print” to print the image.
If the printed image is acceptable, click “Export Edited Image” to save the customized graphic to the PC if desired. Then, click “OK”.
If the printed image is not acceptable, adjust the size, brightness, and dithering to satisfaction. To start fresh, click “Restore Original” to revert the image back to its unformatted state.
It is possible to add multiple graphics. After importing them into the StarPRNT Utility, use the “Up” and “Down” buttons to position them in the desired order. Each graphic is saved into the printer in consecutive order as displayed in StarPRNT.
After adjusting all graphics and their order, click “Store Logos” to download them into the printer.
The printer resets, confirming the graphics have been successfully stored. Click “Yes” to print out all graphics that were just stored to confirm print quality is satisfactory.
