AllWeb FastPrintAllWeb FastPrint
AllWeb FastPrint is a type of printing software for raw print files or PRN files that bypasses a printer driver. This is a special type of printer as it only prints files that are considered raw print or PRN. A PRN file refers to a file that consists of instructions for a printing device. This means it provides a task for the printer regarding what to print, where to print or what paper tray to use, which paper size to opt, and so much more. This file is created by a printer driver since it is its function to translate generic output from another program or application like Microsoft Word document and Notepad. With AllWeb FastPrint, any print tasks from Print Distributor are reprinted which capture PostScript, PCL, Plain Text and Prescribe files directly to the printing device. Additionally, this program has multi-job engine which is able to run different printers all at the same time, plus user-friendly interface, “background printing” and “direct printing” support, and option to auto-suspend or delay printing.a word of warning
Be careful not to rename the extension on .prn files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .prn. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
