Fine Print 1.27 Information
May 20, 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
---------------------
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.
Updating from a previous Fine Print Version
---------------------
For those of you who are already registered, simply run the UPDATE.BAT file
and your copy of Fine Print will be automatically updated to Version
1.27.

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
Windows NT Version
------------------
We are currently working on a version of Fine Print for Windows NT, but
we have not announced a ship date. Please check our web site
<http://www.singletrack.com> for release information.
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.
OEM license and bundle arrangements are welcome.

it. Please contact us at singletrack@kagi.com if you have questions
or problems.
