A6500 Print to File Feature in Brady Workstation

As of Brady Workstation shell 4.10 (September 2020 release), you can now save A6500 label files directly to a USB drive, then transfer label files to the A6500 memory using the USB drive. These instructions also apply to A5500 operators. 
 
Note: Unlike similar functionality in LabelMark 6, this process does not require installation or configuration of the A6500 printer driver. 

 
  1. Launch Text Labels or Custom Designer and create a new file using the A6500 printer.


 
  1. When your file is ready to print, select Print.

  1. Select Print to File from the printers dropdown list, then click Print.

Note: If you do not see the Print to File option, then you did not create your label file with a supported printer (A6500, A5500, and A6200).


 
  1. Name the label file and save it. 


 
  1. Copy this .prn file to the root of a USB drive. 
 
  1. Connect the USB drive your A6500. 
Note: Use the front USB port hidden behind the LCD screen. 
 

 
  1. On the A6500 LCD screen, navigate to Import Files. 


 
  1. Choose the .prn file on the USB stick, then choose to import. The .prn file can now be added to the list of jobs.
