Create or Delete a Form File

Create a Form File

1. Creating data for use as a form file

   Using the application software of your choice, create data that contains the characters and patterns to be used as the form file.
   The white areas of the created data become the clear coating areas. Clear coating is not applied to the non-white areas.

2. Open the printer driver setup window from the application software

3. Selecting Create/Delete Form File

   On the Clear Coating tab, find Clear Coating Area and select Custom. Then select Create/Delete Form File.

   

4. Setting the form name

   In Form Name, enter the name of the form to be created.

   Note

   • Spaces, tabs, and returns cannot be entered at the beginning or end of a form name.
   • You cannot set a form name that is the same as the name of an existing form file.
   • You cannot change the name of the created form.

5. Complete the setup

   Click OK on the Clear Coating tab.
   Click OK when the confirmation message appears.
   When you execute printing, the data that you created using the application software is saved as a form file.
