How to prepare content for serial printing using CorelDraw

To start, click on File - Serial printing - Create/upload serial print.

The serial print wizard will open, and you will be prompted to make the adjustments to the settings as needed.

Select the import text from a file, and then click on Continue and select the desired file. On the next pages, you will see a preview of the records that have been imported. Click on Complete to exit the serial printing wizard.

Next, the serial printing toolbar will open. Select the desired field, for example, "Name" and click on Insert serial print field. Place the desired field in the graphic and change it according to your preferences or specifications (font, font size, etc.).

To start the printing process, click on Run serial printing on the toolbar in CorelDRAW. Select the Trotec Engraver as the printer. Then click on Properties and, as usual, adjust the settings for laser engraving and cutting. If you want to print each job individually, you will be finished after this step, and you can send the graphic to your laser. If you want to print several jobs, for example, several type plates or name tags, by sending one print command to the laser, you will save time and make the most of your laser material. To do this, merge the jobs as described in the next step.

Once you have selected the Trotec Engraver as the printer and adjusted the settings for the laser, enter the width and height of your materials. This is important so you can see how many jobs will fit on the material. Save the settings by clicking on the JobControl button. Next take a look at the print preview. In the print preview window, click on Break layout and enter the number of rows and columns in the menu bar. The jobs will then be merged. Click on the Selection tool for a preview of the complete plate. Now click on Print and send your graphic to JobControl.
