║ MULTI PRINT PRO INSTALLATION: ║
╙──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
If you are a normal computer user, you have already installed
MULTI PRINT PRO and checked out all of it's features.
Please forgive me for having to do this `Installation Page'.
1 - Make a new directory on your hard disk: C:\MPP or D:\MPP
2 - Use this DOS command to COPY your MPP files to C:\MPP -->
COPY MPP*.* C:\MPP
3 - All of the `MPP' program files START WITH the letters `MPP'.
This makes it easy to identify all of the files which
came with the program!
4 - To RUN the program, type MPP at the DOS PROMPT.
=============== EXPERIENCED COMPUTER USERS ===============
│ MPP can be installed into your favorite utility directory.
│
│ You can run MPP from anywhere you are as long as your
│ PATH= contains the directory which MPP lives in.
│
│ MPP will find it's daughter files at run-time, and restore
│ you to the caller's path when the program finishes.
╓──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖

║ MULTI PRINT PRO SPECIAL NOTES: ║
╙──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
1 - Every effort was made to make this program as reliable
and useful as possible. Should you find any bugs, please
contact ETS IMMEDIATELY:
Mr. Val Patterson
E.T.S. Inc.
FAX: ( 801 ) 265-8921 24 HR ETS Inc. Support FAX.
BBS: ( 801 ) 265-0919 24 HR ETS Inc. Support BBS.
2 - Your comments are welcome. Contact Val at the above
phone numbers anytime. Ideas, suggestions, etc.
3 - Use the MANUAL FEED selection in the program for printing
on both sides of a page. This works pretty slick!
SAVE THE TREES!
4 - Do NOT use CHEAP(inexpensive) PLAIN PHOTOCOPIER PAPER
when printing on both sides of a page.
You MUST use the better quality (more expensive) paper.
│ If you don't follow my advice, here's what happens...
│ The second time you run the paper through the printer,
│ it has already been distorted by the 425-degree fusing
│ roller, and it will `crinkle-up' like crazy. You will
│ have to see it to believe it! It's kind of funny to see
│ if you are not in a big hurry....
5 - MPP saves certain information everytime you quit the program.
* Current FONT
* Current ORIENTATION: PORTRAIT or LANDSCAPE
* Current style: 2-UP 4-UP 6-UP
* Tabs setting
* Margins setting
* Page Numbering selection
* Page Shadowing selection
* Printing BOTH SIDES or ONE side of page
* Your custom LOGO
* Printer Tray selection
* Printer Type selection
* Printer Port
* Colors for the screen
The file which contains this information is: `MPP.OVL'.
If you erase this file, you will do no damage, in fact,
erasing the file causes the program to reset every setting
back to the factory defaults!
6 - MULTI PRINT PRO works best with plain, normal, ASCII TEXT.
If you are using a program like WP or WORD, you MUST save your
work as ASCII TEXT in order for MULTI PRINT PRO to print it
properly.

╙──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜
7 - PRINTING BOTH SIDES OF PAGE: When selected, causes
MULTI PRINT PRO to print all LEFT side pages of a document
on the first pass, then pauses and displays a little graphic
showing you which way you have to turn the pages over to complete
printing all of the RIGHT sides of your document.
You should put all of the pages back into your paper tray and
make sure you turn your printer back ONLINE before you
continue printing.
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ NOTE: PRINTING THE SECOND PASS DURING BOTH SIDES PRINTING: ║
║ OPEN UP THE REAR TRAY ON YOUR LASER PRINTER! (Laser Jets) ║
║ ║
║ PORTRAIT STYLES: RE-INSERT THE PAPER, WHITE SIDE UP, ║
║ WITH THE TOP OF THE PAGE TOWARD THE LASER PRINTER. ║
║ ║
║ LANDSCAPE STYLES: RE-INSERT THE PAPER, WHITE SIDE UP, ║
║ WITH THE TOP OF THE PAGE TO THE LEFT. ║

SHAREWARE: The ultimate guarantee. Try it before you buy it!
│ MULTI-PRINT PRO is a copyrighted program.
│ When you use MULTI PRINT PRO, you form a contract

│ [Q] Do people register shareware?

NOTE: If you have just downloaded this newer version of MPP from
a BBS, and are ALREADY a registered MPP user: Don't send a check
for $9.95 for the newer version! We just have to send your check
back. MPP UPGRADES ARE FREE! Call our BBS for your free upgrade.

│ but after figuring it out on paper, we proved that after a while,

│ 2400 baud modems are now under $50 by mail order!
│ Get a modem! Calling BBS's is GREAT FUN!!!
