Note: The "PS to TEXT Converter" program is on a disc in Bret's office in the top left drawer of his desk. If you do not already have this program installed on your Windows PC before starting this procedure, ask to have it installed as it is necessary to complete the steps listed below.
- First, you need to be sure you have a virtual postscript printer installed on your PC. If you don't already have this printer installed, you can install it using the directions at the following link:

- Next, export your label file from Newscycle as a PDF and save it to a location on your desktop using Report Viewer.
- Open the file in a PDF viewer on your PC.
- Then print the file using the postscript printer. It will ask you for a location to save it. Save the file using the postscript printer to a location on your desktop, or somewhere that is easily accessible.
- Open the conversion program called "PS to TEXT Converter" from the Programs Menu and convert the file. Save it to a location on your desktop or somewhere you can access it easily.
** Note ** The converter will display the number of labels it converted on the bottom of the program window when it's done. Check the number of labels to make sure it's what you expect it to be. If it's not, then something likely went wrong with the conversion. Also - the conversion process is almost instantaneous, so don't be alarmed if it does not take any time at all.
- Go back to the folder where you saved the file and open with Wordpad.
- The file is ready to be printed to the label printer.
