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. ╓──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ MPP FILES: on disk ║ ╙──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ MPP.EXE - Executable MULTI PRINT PRO file. MPP.HLP - The HELP text file used when F1 key is pressed. MPPB.SFP - Default portrait BOLD Font. ─╖ MPPN.SFP - Default portrait NORMAL Font. ║ MULTI PRINT MPPB.SFL - Default landscape BOLD Font. ║ PRO MPPN.SFL - Default landscape NORMAL Font. ║ FONTS MPP6U.SFP - 6 UP portrait Font. ║ MPP6UL.SFL - 6 UP landscape Font. ─╜ MPP.DOC - This MPP DOCUMENTATION file.

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. page 4 ╓──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╖ ║ MULTI PRINT PRO MORE NOTES: ║ ╙──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╜ 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!

The following characters are not contained in the fonts: Ascii characters below 32. Ascii characters 128-160. (Varies with each country) If European users show enough interest, we will create a small font module for each country's code page for inclusion when the fonts are downloaded to the printer.
