which of the two large manuals files should be used to print out the manual. the 8 or 12 meg one.

Definitely print the big 12 meg one.

Take a look at each in print preview. The pages don't fill up a standard 8.5 x 11 page on the 8 meg one.

FWIW, my local Kinkos just quoted me $220US for color, double-sided, spiral-bound printing of the 8.5x11 pdf.

Yep, other manual is aimed at using online with the search abilities in Adobe reader.

HUH? $220.00!!! How much do you figure in your own ink? Full color.

Holy smokes! Go buy your own $150 printer, 2 refills for $40 and some paper for $20 and print it yourself for tha kind of money! [X(]

My high speed wax colour printer is only .35 a sheet, thats $70 odd bucks for godlike quality, not just normal colour.

I laughed at them as I walked out... They've been going downhill (farther) ever since Fedex bought them out earlier this year.

I've abused the hell out of a laser printer at work, spent 15 minutes with a 3-hole punch, and now I have a suitably wicked looking binder full of grayscale goodness.

Next, I will set it up so my wife and I have to turn synchronized keys in order to start our computers and then we'll move into the basement.

It took one B&W Ink Cartridge and one and part of another Color cartridge to print out the full 220 page manual and the 60 page tutorial.

That´s the one intended to use for print at US Letter paper size. Unless of course you want to have it printed at the DVD box manual size [;)]

Hey Marc, is there the intention to have it available through Kinko's document center?

We´re working on that, no promises though.

I'll accept that answer graciously.

I do have a brand new inkjet printer still in the box that I'm getting ready to install. Of course, right now I am downloading a new version of Acrobat in order to even look at the manual.


Man... I just have to vent a moment. I had to dl the new Adobe twice (got a corrupted file the first time), only to find that I now have to dl a newer version of MS Internet Explorer ( I use Netscape).

I am going to sneak into work this weekend and burn up the color laser.. if I tried it during the day I would be shot! consumables for that beast must be made of gold for what it costs

Is it possible to just pull the color pages out of the manual and have them doen at Kinkos or on the office printer? I know that I did that with the UV manual. My poor HP Laser Jet 4 at work was HOT when I got done, but it saved me a bunch of ink. I then printed teh maps on our color plotter and a smaller ink jet for the color plates.

Just thinking it may be cheaper. Also is it less expensive to have Kinkos print it on one side of teh paper. I know it soudns crazy but if you duplex it it may require the operator to push one more button.
