Creating A Virtual Drive on Macintosh
  • When saving your image files, AVOID multiple dots in your file names (i.e. name.this.file) and always include file extensions.
  • Acceptable image styles include .JPG, .TIF (w/o LZW compression), .BMP, .TGA, and .FPX
  • In Virtual PC click on EDIT then click on PREFERENCES. In PREFERENCES you'll see an option called SHARED FOLDER.
  • Click SHARE FOLDER then find the folder on your Mac that has the images in it and make that your shared folder.

Running a CD Zip Order from Virtual PC
Creating a CD Zip Order
  • Return to the Mac and place the contents of the Shared Folder on your Zip Disk or burn a CD. Follow Instructions below:
  • ZIP: Save the image folder onto your ZIP disk in PC format and send it to ez prints.
  • CD: Burn your CD of this directory and make sure you save it in PC format as ez prints cannot read MAC formatted CD's.
  • Using Toast you can burn under Mac file or folders or ISO 9660 and it will be fine. After you are finished, send it to ez prints.
