5. Select **Add a local printer with manual settings** → Next.  
6. Use existing port: `FILE: (Print to File)`.  
7. Select **Generic → Generic / Text Only** driver → Next.  
8. Keep **Use the driver that is currently installed** → Next.  
9. Name the printer → Next.  
10. Select **Do not share this printer** → Next.  
11. Finish setup.  

Whenever you print with this device, Windows will prompt you to save the output as a file.

   :::  

5. Go to **Commands** tab and set the ESPRIT executable path.
