HOW TO CHANGE FONT/SIZE.

  choose the desired font and size.  Now you may start typing!


HOW TO SELECT NEWFASE PRINTER.

1.Type "NF" to load NewFase and WordPerfect.

1.Press "ALT-N" to call up NewFase printer selection menu, choose
  any number from number 7 through 9;

2.Press "Shift-F7" to print one page, your print will be directed to
  screen, thus enabling you to see the actual print before it
  gets to your printer;

3.Use "Alt-N" again, to choose 1 for the original printer that you
  setup for your system, and start normal printing.

HOW TO USE NEWFASE FILL PATTERN.

  To enhance your document with NewFase fill patterns, select a
  relatively large point size of the font you use.  (Ctrl-F8,4)

  Enable outline feature provided by WordPerfect (Ctrl-F8,2,5)
  (this is not required, but generally produces better effect).


1.Press "ALT-F10" to enable macro. Enter "SHADE" for the macro
  name; you will see a list of available features numbered from
  0 to letter M.

  invoke "SHADE" macro again (Shift-F10, Shade), and choose "0"
  to disable the special fill pattern.    What follows will be in normal
  format with no fill pattern.



WHAT "ACTIVATING DEMO" CAN FOR YOU.

  The working DEMO has one restriction:  NewFase will print
  "NewFase Sample" on your trial printout, with serial number of
  demo diskette, and our phone number for order 1-800-935-5599.

  When you call to place order, operator will ask for the serial
  number, along with VISA/MASTERCARD number.  We then
  will provide you with an "activation key".

  This activation key will remove the shaded wording "NewFase
  Sample" from your printout, so you may start using NewFase for
  your daily work right away.

  Just have the serial number, your VISA or MasterCard ready,
  and call 1-800-935-5599.

  The price for NewFase is $79.00, plus $7 shipping and handling.

  An official NewFase, which contains formal programs, 40 fonts,
  user manual, a list of all fonts available, a registration card, and
  your personalized demo diskette, will come to you via United
  Parcel Service (UPS).

  If you need to have NewFase shipped to you same day, for
  Saturday delivery, by Federal Express, or to an address outside
  the U.S.A., a small shipping charge will be necessary.

      QUICK TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. NewFase gives me "Can not run/find drivers" message when I try
   to print from my printer, but I have no problem printing to the
   monitor (that is, I can see the actual output on the monitor).

Solution:
   Exit WordPerfect by Pressing "F7".  When in DOS prompt,
   change directory to "\NewFase" or the directory where NewFase
   files reside in.

   Type "install" to run NewFase install program.  A pop-up menu
   will come onto the screen.

   Use the cursor key to highlight "Printer Drivers", the second item
   on the menu.

   Press "Enter" to edit, you will see a list containing the printers
   that you installed, and the very first one is your default printer.

   Press "Enter" to select that default printer to edit.  Another pop-
   up menu will list the printers and destination ports.

   Move the highlight bar down to select the "Destination port",
   then press "Enter" to edit.   A sub-menus will come up with
   entries like LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, FILE, NULL.

   Highlight "file" and "Enter" to edit.  The menu that comes up
   will then ask you for the destination file name.

   Literately Key in, "LPT1" then press "Enter" to finish this menu.

   Use "Esc" to back out to the main menu.

   Select the "Save Configuration" entry and save the changes that
   you just made.

   "Quit" the setup program and re-run NewFase and try print to
   your printer again.


2. I use Panasonic 9-pin printer (KX-P1080, KX-P1090, KX-P1091,
   or KX-P1180) and I chose the "Epson printer" as my printer
   driver.  NewFase won't print, or prints out garbage.

Solution:
   Change the printer selection to "IBM Pro Printer" as your
   default driver, because this is the default emulation mode on
   these printers.

   Alternatively, you can access the dip switch inside your printer
   per your printer manual, to change to Epson Emulation, then
   the NewFase Epson printer driver will work correctly.


3. My laser printer emulates Hewlett Packard LaserJet, but when
   I use HP LaserJet III driver from NewFase, it will not print
   correctly.

Solution:
   First make sure that the default emulation mode for your printer
   is HP LaserJet, and also select the HP LaserJet II printer driver
   for NewFase to drive your printer.  Sometimes, the HP LaserJet
   Plus driver will have to be used for your printer.


4. I get the "Error reading disk" message when installing NewFase.

Solution:
   Call MicroPress (1-800-935-5599) for replacement disk.


5. I am installing NewFase to XT, with 360KB driver(s).

Solution:
   Call MicroPress for special edition for XT.


6. I get "Insufficient memory" message when running NewFase.

Solution:
   Remove all or some memory-resident programs.  This will
   release additional memory.


7. When running NewFase, WordPerfect complaints about
   "Insufficient handles".

Solution:
   Increase the number of files in the CONFIG.SYS file.  30 files
   should be sufficient for most operations.

8. I get "Insufficient RAM to view this page" message when running
   Previewer.

Solution:
   Remove all or some of memory-resident programs.  This will
   release additional memory.  Alternatively, set smaller resolutions
   for the Video driver using NewFase INSTALL.


9. I cannot run the SELECTNF macro -- WordPerfect cannot find
   it.

Solution:
   Verify that WordPerfect setup and NewFase setup list the same
   directory for WordPerfect.  If you are WordPerfect 5.0 user and
   the MACROs directory is not set, you have to run SELECTNF
   from the directory set in NewFase setup.  Verify that
   SELECTNF.WPM file is in that directory.  When prompted by
   WordPerfect for the macro name, enter complete path, i.e.
   C:\WP50\SELECTNF


10.I cannot run the SHADE macro -- WordPerfect cannot find it.

Solution:
   Follow the procedures for SELECTNF macro given above.


11.I cannot print or preview the document.

Solution:
   Verify that the NEWFASE.PRS drivers has been selected by
   WordPerfect.  Verify that you entered WordPerfect by executing
   the NF command.


12.When I print the document, I get "garbage".  The Previewer does
   not work either.

Solution:
   Verify that you chose correct printer driver.  Run the NewFase
   INSTALL program.  Verify that NEWFASE.PRS is selected by
   WordPerfect.



13.When I print the document, I get "garbage".  The Previewer
   works fine.

Solution:
   Run the NewFase INSTALL program.  Verify that the
   destination port is set correctly.  Alternatively, you may try
   change destination port from "LPT1" to "file", and enter "LPT1"
   as the file name.


14.I changed the temporary files directory and NewFase ceased to
   work.
Solution:
   Run the SELECTNF macro.  It will set the destination port
   correctly.


15.EPSON LQ driver does not work right on my LQ 850 (or LQ
   1050) printer at 360 by 360 dpi resolution.    180 by 180 works
   fine.

Solution:
   If your printer was purchased before September, 1989, you may
   need a ROM upgrade.    Call EPSON.


16.My HP LaserJet compatible printer does not print with the
   LaserJet driver.

Solution:
   See if the DeskJet driver works.  Some HP compatible printers
   are not 100% compatible.
