B4400/B4600 User’s Guide – Overlays and Macros (Windows only) > 77

When prompted for a print file name, enter a meaningful 
name with the extension .PRN .

Close your application.

From the Windows Start menu, start Storage Device 
Manager (SDM) and allow SDM to discover the printer.

Choose Printers→New Project to start a new project.

Choose Printers→Filter Macro File. The Filter Printer 

Patterns dialogue box appears. Make any adjustments in 
the settings that you need and then click OK.

Example: If you create a black oval in MS Paint and leave 
all the colour command filters checked, the black oval will 
print as a black rectangle when the overlay is used. To 
maintain the oval shape, turn off (deselect) the “Configure 
Image Data,” “Palette ID” and “Palette Control” filters.

Set the Files of Type drop-down list to PRN 
Files(*.prn).

Navigate to the folder where the overlay .PRN files are 
stored and select one or more of these to include in your 
overlay set.

You can have more than one macro file in a project. For 
example, one for top pages and another for continuation 
pages. Use standard Windows techniques (Shift or Ctrl 
keys) to select multiple files simultaneously if you need to.

Click Open to add these files to the current project. (You 
can also drag and drop files from Windows Explorer 
directly into the project window if you prefer.) When a 
message box appears confirming that a filter file has been 
created, click OK to clear the message.

The project window will display one .BIN file for each 
printer file added. Make a careful note of the name and ID 
number for each of the files. You will need them later.

If you wish to edit the names or ID numbers, double-click 
the file entry and edit the details. 

Note that the names are case sensitive.
