Overview: Installation information
Installation information

AUTORUN

Microsoft Windows 95 and NT4.0 provide an AUTOPLAY feature that runs when you insert CD-ROMs into the CD-ROM drive. Corel Print House Magic supports this feature by launching AUTORUN.EXE after you insert the Corel Print House Magic CD-ROM. To bypass this feature, press the SHIFT key while inserting CD.

Low system resources

When Windows 95 is low on resources, SETUP may display the following message: DDE Client Transaction Failed. When this message displays, restart Windows 95 and reinstall Corel Print House Magic.

Fonts

If you are missing fonts after installing Corel Print House Magic, try performing a cold boot of your system (i.e., shut down your system, turn off the power, and then restart) to refresh the Windows fonts cache.


Overview: Uninstalling Corel Print House Magic
Uninstalling Corel Print House Magic

You can uninstall Corel Print House Magic using the Uninstall Wizard.

Remaining files after UNINSTALL

If you perform an uninstall and files still remain, you can use Windows Explorer to delete them. The Uninstall Wizard does not remove user-created files, or any of the following:

•	shortcuts you have renamed.

•	the My Projects folder, if there are user-created files in it.

•	fonts installed by Corel Print House Magic. To remove these fonts, click Start, Settings, Control Panel from your desktop. Open the Fonts folder, and click and delete any unwanted fonts.

Uninstalling files remaining in memory

When uninstalling Corel Print House Magic, you may notice that some files cannot be deleted because they are in use by Windows, or another process. To bypass this, restart Windows, and use Windows Explorer to delete them.


Overview: Multimedia introduction
Multimedia introduction

To view the multimedia introduction properly, your Windows desktop area must be set at 800 by 600 pixels or larger. If the desktop area is smaller than 800 by 600 pixels, the multimedia introduction window will run off the edge of the screen.


Overview: Working in Large Fonts mode
Working in Large Fonts mode

Large Fonts mode is not supported if an 800 x 600 desktop area is selected.


Overview: Font naming conventions
Font naming conventions

To simplify the process of identifying the fonts we supply with the Corel Print House Magic applications, Corel has developed a new naming convention for the font files. This will have no effect on the internal naming used within the font, it is a filename change only. The Windows font name was shortened to a maximum of 7 characters and a suffix, as listed below, was added to form the new filename. These suffixes are as follows:

•	a = Headline

•	b = Bold

•	c = Condensed

•	d = Demi

•	e = Extended

•	g = Engraved

•	h = Heavy

•	I = Italic

•	k = Black

•	l = Light

•	m = Medium

•	n = Normal

•	O = Outline

•	p = Expanded

•	r = Rounded

•	s = Semi

•	u = Ultra

•	v = Cursive

•	x = Extra

Some exceptions may exist. The fonts available with the Corel Print House Magic applications will be added to your Font listing in addition to the fonts you may currently have installed from previous versions of the products. Therefore, there may be duplication in the fonts you have installed.

Printing from Corel Print House Magic


Overview: NON Postscript Printers
NON Postscript Printers

EPSON Color Stylus Printer

Printing complex graphics to the Epson Color Stylus may be problematic. These problems can be overcome by using the Windows 3.1 printer driver 1.06E or a later version provided by the printer manufacturer. Follow the installation instructions included with the Manufacturer's diskette.

To print with the Windows 3.1 driver, you may need to modify a setting in the EPSON printer spooler. Select the Epson printer from the list of printers in the EPSON spooler list. Click File and Setup. In the setup, enable the Use Print Manager setting.

HP Color LaserJet Printer and the HP DeskJet 1200C Printer

Printing objects with complex fills can generate rather large files. We recommend that you add the line UseClippingForFills=7 or 5 to the Config section of the Corelprn.ini. One of these settings should alleviate this problem depending on which Printer driver you are using.

HP LaserJet 4 and 5 Series Printers

The Windows '95 driver when set in vector mode may print some fills or bitmaps as if they were transparent when overlapping other objects. To correct this problem, change the graphics mode option to print high level objects as Raster graphics instead of Vector graphics.


Overview: Postscript Printers
Postscript Printers

Printing to file with the Adobe 3.0.1 printer driver will not generate a *.PRN file. As a workaround, the port can be changed to the printer port FILE:. See the Windows '95 help topics about changing printer settings.


Overview: Printing area limitations
Printing area limitations

Most printers leave an unprinted area around the edge of the page. For example, the Canon BJ 600e leaves an unprinted area of a quarter of an inch on the side edge of the page and a half an inch at the bottom edge of the page.

Corel Print House displays the printable region on screen as a non-printing dashed line. You can hide or display the line using the Printable Region command on the View menu. If your project does not fit on your page correctly when printed, adjust the size and position of the graphics to fit within the printable region of your printer.

Printing envelopes

For some printers, Corel Print House may not display the printable region for envelopes correctly.

If you are using ATM, ensure that you have v.3.0.1 or higher.


Overview: Storing large items in the Scrapbook
Storing large items in the Scrapbook

Storing large items such as clipart or other bitmaps in the Scrapbook will consume hard drive space. These large items will also take longer to load.


Overview: Radial fills in text
Radial fills in text

Radial fills in text do not print correctly to the HP4 Series of Non-Postscript printers. To correct this problem, you must place the following line in the config section of the Corelprn.ini, in the PrintHouse directory:

TextAsClip=1


Overview: Text overlapping graphics
Text overlapping graphics

Some printer drivers fail to support text objects overlapping graphic objects. Often, the result is text overlapping objects incorrectly (e.g., if the text is supposed to appear in front of a graphic, it actually prints behind it). To correct this problem, modify the Text Output Method setting in the Corelprn.ini so that it reads AllTextAsGraphics=1.


Overview: Avoiding 100% Fade values
Avoiding 100% Fade values

An object will disappear from the desktop if it is faded to 100%, although it will still be part of your project. To avoid losing objects on the desktop, use Fade values of 95% or less.

Overview: Pressure-sensitive pens
Pressure-sensitive pens

If you are using a graphics tablet with a pressure-sensitive pen, the width of your painting tools should increase as you press harder on the tablet. If pressure-sensitivity is not working, try re-installing the driver software that came with the tablet.


Overview: Transparent backgrounds
Transparent backgrounds

The Transparent background feature found in the Image Properties dialog box is only for use with images that are to be opened in Corel Print House.


Overview: 1-bit paletted images
1-bit paletted images

1-bit paletted images (2-color images that use colors other than black and white) can be opened and saved in Corel Photo House. However, if you change the image properties (e.g., resolution, size), the image is converted to a black and white image. In addition, you cannot create a 1-bit paletted image in Corel Photo House, nor can you save an image of another color mode (e.g., black and white or 16 color) as a 1-bit paletted image.


Corel Family & Friends
