- Welcome to the demonstration version of DJ_BothSides for Windows.
-
- DJ_BothSides prints ASCII text files and most Microsoft Write .WRI files
- on both sides of the paper. It will save many trees and as much as 5
- pounds for each 500-sheet pack. You'll save even more with the
- `double-column' and `folded' options, which can also extend the life of
- your print cartridges.
-
- It's ideal for program listings, READ.ME files, on-line manuals,
- magazines and help, e-mail, wide spreadsheet output and proofing drafts
- prior to typesetting. Its facilities - and limitations - are summarised
- in Sections 3 and 4.
-
-
- ▒▒▒▒ 11 RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss ▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒

- READ.ME Changes from previous versions of DJ_BothSides.
- WRITOASC.DLL A dynamic link library used for converting a Microsoft
- .WRI file to an ASCII file (with extension .$RI) and
- other miscellaneous print functions.
-
- Please note that BOTHSIDE.SET files for versions 1.4b and earlier are
- incompatible with this release. Be sure to make back-up copies of the
- above files as there is a charge of 10 pounds sterling for redispatch.

-
- DJ_BothSides should not be used with non-ASCII, wordprocessor-specific
- files (but with the exception noted below), PostScript files, nor with
- files containing graphical images.
-
- NNootteess::
- * Many wordprocessors can export an ASCII file, that DJ_BothSides can
- print.
- * `Wordprocessor-specific' files are those used by wordprocessors such
- as Microsoft Word (with file type .DOC) that BothSides cannot print
- at present.
- * Microsoft Write .WRI files are an exception: BothSides first
- converts these to ASCII files - with extension .$RI - then prints
- them, possibly with some loss of the original Write lay-out.
- BothSides cannot print Write graphical images, which it replaces
- with the message `<graphic omitted>'.
-
- BothSides performs reasonably on files containing characters that are
- displayable on the screen, together with backspace, form-feed and tab.
- Many European accented symbols are printed also. It will not print files
- containing form-feeds that are more than the maximum page depth apart.
-
- Some loss of columniation and justification may occur when a
- proportionally-spaced typeface is selected.

-
- All known bugs, except those listed in Appendix B, are cured in this
- release. Please report others you find.
-
- Since DJ_BothSides has not been tested on other Hewlett-Packard printers
- (except the LaserJet II, with which it doesn't work) or with the Olivetti
- JP 350 and the Fujitsu B100 or B200, reports on how it behaves with these
- are welcome.

- E-mail your bug and printer reports - and suggestions for improvement -
- to:

- --------------------
-
- The `Print' command is disabled on first entry. Commands marked `T' are
- also on the Toolbar.
-
- FF__iillee......
- Use this command to bring up the file selector. Choose the name of the
- file you wish to print. The `Print' command is enabled once you've
- selected a file. Alternatively, drag and drop the file onto
- DJ_BothSides' icon. If you select a Microsoft Write .WRI file, Both-
- Sides will attempt to convert it to an ASCII file with extension .$RI.
-
- PP__rriinntt
- Click on this command to print the selected file using the default (or
- previously selected) options. [The `Options' menu command (see below)
- is used to select print options different from the defaults.]
- DJ_BothSides takes a second or two to locate the document's left and
- right margins, during which the `hour-glass' cursor is displayed. A
- dialogue appears prompting you to reinsert the paper between the
- printing of the back and front pages; see Section 7.

- Click on this menu command to cause DJ_BothSides' main window to shrink
- to an icon when you click on `Print'. BothSides makes a beep when it's
- ready for paper reinsertion and when it's finished sending a document
- to the printer.
-
- RR__eeppoorrtt
- Obtain a report on your print run comprising:
-
- * The document's file name, date and size
- * The number of words, lines and pages
- * The number of blank lines and leading blank lines
- * Its left- and right-hand margins, and width
- * The average line length
- * The maximum page depth
- * Whether all lines are terminated by CR/LF
- * The occurrence of control and non-standard characters
- * A summary of the document's output format
-
- In producing its report, BothSides disregards text in a line after the
- escape character.
-

- buttons and entries subdivided into groups as follows:

- of the Deskjet 500 Printer Owner's Manual.

- Load your Deskjet's input hopper as normal.
-
- DJ_BothSides will send the bbaacckk pages of your document to the printer
- first and then display a dialogue prompting you to reinsert the paper,
- but don't do this until the Deskjet's busy light ssttaayyss off.
-
- Remove the paper (possibly including a blank page on top) from the output
- hopper.
-
- [N.B: once you are familiar with using DJ_BothSides, this is the time to
- check for unexpected, completely blank pages in case the Deskjet had fed
- two pages at once. Remove any before you reload the paper.]
-
- Reinsert the sheets wwiitthhoouutt cchhaannggiinngg tthheeiirr oorrddeerr all together into the
- iinnppuutt hhooppppeerr (on top of any unused sheets), making sure that the pprriinntteedd
- ssiiddee iiss oonn tthhee ttoopp,, and:
-
- * if DJ_BothSides selects ppoorrttrraaiitt mmooddee,, make sure the top edge of the
- paper (nearest the first line) goes into the hopper first ((ttuurrnn tthhee
- ppaappeerr tthhrroouugghh 118800 ddeeggrreeeess)),, or
-
- * if llaannddssccaappee mmooddee is selected, make sure the left-hand edge of the
- paper (nearest the first column) goes into the hopper first ((nnoo
- rroottaattiioonn iiss nneecceessssaarryy))..
-
- N.B: with portrait paper orientation, lines are printed parallel to the
- shortest edge of the paper; with landscape orientation, they're printed
- parallel to the longest edge.
-
- Ensure that the paper is nicely stacked and then click on the [Ready]
- button. The document arrives in the output hopper the right way up in
- the correct order. Very occasionally, the Deskjet will feed two sheets at
- once, messing up the whole process. It's best to start from scratch if
- this occurs.
-
- Press the `Abort' toolbar button to stop subsequent pages being printed.
- N.B: you'll have to wait whilst pages, sent to the printer beforehand,
- are printed.

- If a Microsoft Write .WRI file won't print folded, consider reducing
- BothSides' tab size from 8 to 6 or 4. Failing this, it will probably
- print single-columned.
-
- Eighty-page documents begin to get unmanageable for folding and anything
- less than a heavy-duty, long-arm stapler. Reduce the chance of double-
- feeding by using high-grade paper (greater than 80 gsm or 16.4 pounds).

- * For files without form-feeds, when a footer with file date, system
- date and page number is requested, the system date is not printed.
- Similarly, there may not be room for the file's pathname.

- "A line in the document is too long."
- The length of at least one line in the document exceeds the maximum
- permitted (> 400).
- SSoolluuttiioonn:: reduce the tab size.
-
- "A printed line will be too long."
- The length of two adjacent lines `across the fold' exceeds the maximum
- permitted (> 400). This is often due to the combination of underline
- and bold.
- SSoolluuttiioonn:: reduce the text enhancement.
-
- "Document is too wide for folded output." or
- "Document is too wide for two columns." or
- "Your document is too wide for printing."
- SSoolluuttiioonnss:: reduce the tab size and/or select single-column output. If
- neither of these works, there's probably something peculiar about the
- file.
-
- "Double-columning is unavailable for files containing form-feeds."
- SSoolluuttiioonnss:: select single-column or folded output.
-
- "Can't print this .WRI file."
- You have selected a Microsoft Write .WRI file that BothSides cannot
- convert to a suitable ASCII file.
- SSoolluuttiioonn:: none at present, except to use Write to export it to an ASCII
- file.
-
- "Final page is before start page." or "Start is after last page." or
- "You can't start at page 0." or "Invalid integer entry."
- SSoolluuttiioonn:: refill the `Start' and `End' entries.
-
- "Form-feed position exceeds the maximum page depth."
- The page depth of a pre-formatted document is too large for the paper.
- SSoolluuttiioonn:: read the hints in Section 8.0 and reformat the document.
-
- "The demo doesn't print more than 10 pages. Buy the full version."
- Self-explanatory.

- * It is easy to crash DJ_BothSides - and Windows - if you do strange
- things with the communications ports, like selecting a modem port or
- an empty diskette drive. (Windows' File and Print Managers can
- behave similarly.)
-
- * The program intermittently prints backspaces where it should not in
- 6-point folded and doubled-columned output.
