We report on measurements of differential cross sections d sigma /dpT for prompt charm meson production in pp-bar collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV using 5.8±0.3 pb-1 of data from the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data are collected with a new trigger that is sensitive to the long lifetime of hadrons containing heavy flavor. The charm meson cross sections are measured in the central rapidity region |y| K- pi +, D*+-->D0 pi +, D+-->K- pi + pi +, D+s--> phi pi +, and their charge conjugates. The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical calculations.
