FinePrint 2000 Build 10
March 15, 2000
Description
-----------
FinePrint is a printer driver for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0,
and Windows 2000. FinePrint prints any multi-page document onto fewer
sheets of paper by printing 1, 2, 4, or 8 document pages onto each physical
sheet of paper, while maintaining document integrity and clarity. FinePrint
also allows you to customize your printouts by adding headers, footers,
and watermarks to your pages.
Benefits of FinePrint
---------------------
* saves significant amounts of paper and toner, and extends printer life
* works with any standard Windows application which has a Print function
* returns control to your application quickly, which allows you to
continue working while FinePrint prints your document in the background
* works with any Windows printer (inkjet, PCL laser, PostScript, bubble
jet, etc.)
* particularly useful for spreadsheets, email, electronic manuals, draft
memos, technical papers, presentations, Web pages, Adobe Acrobat PDF
files, software source code
* can be used to efficiently archive large amounts of physical documents
* saves weight for business travelers--carry only 1/2 or 1/4th the amount
of paper
* supports all standard Windows print features such as fonts, graphics,
page size, etc.
* Stationery feature prints a header, footer, page number, date and time
stamps with your document. Watermarks are also supported.
* simple to install and easy to use
* Universal print preview with editing capability. All documents can be
previewed before they are printed. The ability to add blank pages or
delete pages makes it easy to ensure that you print what you want.
* Deferred printing allows multiple documents to be combined together as a
single print job. This is useful for creating booklets based on web page
or email output. Deferred documents can be saved and retrieved for later
editing. FinePrint can be used as a web research tool since it saves
pages in their entirety in a single file.
* Any printed output can be copied to the clipboard in text, bitmap or
metafile format. The text of any output can be extracted to a file for
searching, indexing or other use.
* Booklet making and double sided printing are supported with all
documents and printers. Booklets create a professional touch to all
documents and are easy to read and carry. Double sided printing cuts
paper use in half and reduces travel weight.
* Paper scaling allows large pages to be scaled to that they fit on
standard paper sizes such as letter or A4. Large web pages that are
normally truncated or wide spreadsheets can be easily scaled to they fit
on a single sheet.
* Adjustable margins allows for increased text sizes for better
readability while using more of the available area on the page
* Gutter capability provides space to punch holes or bind documents
* Multiple FinePrinters may be created, each with a different set of
predefined settings.

Company History
---------------
We are FinePrint Software, a company founded in 1995 by Jonathan
Weiner and Mark O'Brien. Our mission is to create printing products
that maximize the functionality of existing printing hardware. Our
innovative approach to printing allows us to create software on all
Windows platforms that works with all existing printers.
Setting Default Paper Size
--------------------------
In many countries the default paper size is A4. It is possible to set
FinePrint to always use this or other supported sizes by default. In
the Start menu, open the Settings Printers folder, then right-click on
the FinePrint Driver and select one of the following commands:
- Properties (Windows 95/98)
- Document Defaults (Windows NT)
- Printing Preferences (Windows 2000)
This will present you with a list of choices, and you can select A4 or
any other supported paper size as the default.
FinePrint Dispatcher
--------------------
The FinePrint Dispatcher is a program that runs in the background and
manages the flow of print jobs within FinePrint. The Dispatcher must
be running in order for FinePrint to operate. If you ever get an error
message about "Could not locate the FinePrint Dispatcher", you can try
re-launching it from the FinePrint program group in the Start menu. Or,
you can reboot your computer, since the Dispatcher is launched upon
startup.
