   1. Make sure the print driver you need is installed on your PC. See your Windows documentation for instructions.

   2. Preview your SW document.

   5. Check Print to file.

   6. Choose OK.

   7. Enter a name for the file you are about to create. You can create a file on a disk easily by specifying the disk drive.

2. Transfer the file to the other PC and print your document.

   1. If you didn't create the file on a floppy disk, copy it to a disk.

   2. Insert the disk in the PC attached to the printer you want to use.

   3. From a DOS prompt, type copy a:\xyz\myfile.* LPT1 where a:\xyz\myfile.* is the file name and LPT1 is the printer port.
