Converting to Images instead of ELX Forms

When you convert a word document with the print driver it will create a lot of fonts that you must transfer to the printer.

Instead of this procedure I prefer to convert the form obtained from the print driver, to an img format (fig.1) and then place it on a white form so the only 2 objects that you must transfer are the image and the associated white form.

Don't forget to cut the white border of the image before placing it on the white form so it will fit.

Note: Set the graphic resolution must be set to 256 colours.
