Fine Print 1.28 Information
June 26, 1997
Fine Print Description
----------------------
Fine Print is a Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 printer driver. Fine Print
prints any document with multiple pages onto fewer sheets by printing
one, two, four, or eight pages on a single sheet of paper, while
maintaining document integrity and clarity. Fine Print allows a
number of pages on a single page, saving significant amounts of paper
and toner, and extending printer life. Fine Print works with all
Windows printers and prints to any standard size of paper. It can be
used for printing all documents - internal drafts, archives,
proposals, spreadsheets, presentations, web pages, emails, Adobe
Acrobat (PDF) files, graphics, software source code, etc.
Fine Print maximizes the functionality of existing printing hardware with
features that include:
* Works with any Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 printer: inkjet,
non-postscript laser, and PostScript laser.
* Supports all standard Windows print options, including fonts, graphics,
page size, etc.
* Can print 1, 2, 4 or 8 pages on a single page, saving paper and printer
toner.
* Stationery option prints a header, footer, page number, date and time
stamps. Multiple Stationery formats may be saved.
* A Watermark may be underprinted on a page at a 45-degree angle.
Watermarks include Confidential, Draft, Eyes Only.
* Simple to install and easy to use.
* Any Windows application that has a Print function can use Fine Print.
Installing Fine Print
---------------------
After unzipping the Fine Print file, run INSTALL.EXE and follow the
instructions.
If INSTALL.EXE is not successful, you can install Fine Print as you
would any other printer driver. In Windows 3.1, use the Printers
applet in Control Panel; in Windows 95, open the Printers folder and
double-click "Add Printer." For detailed instructions, just
double-click the file SETUP.HLP in this directory.
Uninstalling
------------
Run UNINST.EXE and then remove Fine Print from the Printers folder on your
system.
Updating from a previous Fine Print Version
-------------------------------------------
For those of you who are already registered, simply run the INSTALL.EXE
file and your copy of Fine Print will be automatically updated to this
version.

Setting Default Paper Size
--------------------------
In many countries the default paper size is A4. It is possible to
set Fine Print to always use this or other supported sizes by
default. The default paper size in Fine Print can be set by using
the Properties dialog box. This dialog box is available from most
applications in the same place that the printer driver is selected.
It is also available from Win95 by right clicking on the Fine Print
icon in the printer panel. From there, select the Details tab and
click the Setup... button.
Note on Watermarks
-------------------
Watermarks do not print on most Laserjet 4 models from Windows 95
applications. Printing from the same applications under Windows 3.1
works correctly. Exceptions to this rule include the Laserjet 5
series of printers.
The only known workaround to this problem is to install the Windows
3.1 driver instead of the Windows 95 driver. This should cause no
ill effects and watermarks will print correctly.
This is not a Fine Print bug. Please see Microsoft's Web site for
more details: http://www.microsoft.com/kb/articles/q130/5/08.htm
Registration
------------
You have downloaded a trial version of Fine Print. If you decide to
use it, registration to the full version costs $19.95. The
registration mechanism we use allows payment by check, credit card,
and electronic payment. When payment is received, you will receive a
registration key which you then enter into Fine Print. Once you have
Registered by entering your key, two things will happen:
1. The "unregistered" message printed on each page will be removed.
2. The 10 page limit will be removed.
Registering entitles you to receive all future upgrades to
Fine Print for a single platform. A version for a different platform
(e.g. Windows NT) will require a separate registration fee.
To register, click the Register... button in the Fine Print window and
then click the Registration Info... button in the dialog box. Enter
the Registration key we have sent you.
Site license information is available in the Registration Info...
dialog box.
