Instructions for Printing
All the support documents can be printed using the Support Materials
Viewer/Printer program provided with this disc. When you install the
disc, two icons are inserted into a program manager group called
5 A Day Adventures. The one labeled Support Materials is the
Viewer/Printer utility. A double click on this icon will start the
program.
There are two types of documents included with this disc: text
documents and graphics documents. There are 66 text documents and
3 graphics documents: the 5 A Day Logo, the Certificate, and the
Token Summary Sheet.
To print any of the documents, click on its button in the Support
Documents Viewer/Printer utility.
Your printer may be set up to print directly from the program or to
print using the Print Manager. To choose this option:
- Double-Click the "Main" Group in Program Manager
- Double-Click on "Control Panel"
- Double-Click on "Printers"
- Highlight the name of the printer your
computer is connected to and click "Setup"
- Click in the lower left corner of the dialog box to turn
the Print Manager on or off.
- After making your choice, click on "close" to
exit the "Printers" setup program.
With Print Manager enabled, you may queue up several files to print
at a time. You do not have to wait for a file to finish printing to
continue using the program or printing other documents. However,
when you do this, the program may appear sluggish until printing is
complete.
Printing Problems
Sometimes your computer may fail to print properly. You may see
error messages on the screen that describe the problem. The
following suggestions may help:
a) Printing on a Dot Matrix Printer
The graphics documents (the 5 A Day Logo, the Certificate, and the
Token Summary Sheet) are designed to print best on a laser
printer. Laser printers can print much finer detail than dot
matrix printers. As a result, your printouts may not fit
correctly onto one sheet of paper when printing from the SUPPORT
MATERIALS VIEWER/PRINTER Program or from the Copy Center in 5 A
Day Adventures. If this is the case, the best way to print them
is to follow these directions.
Getting Ready to Print
- Double-Click the "Main" Group in Program Manager
- Double-Click on "Control Panel"
- Double-Click on "Printers"
- Highlight the name of the printer your
computer is connected to and click "Setup"
- Change the Graphics Resolution to 75 dpi
- Change Orientation to Landscape
- Click "OK"
- Close Printer window and Control Panel Window
Follow these steps to print graphics on a dot matrix printer
- Open File Manager from Main
- Select the CDROM drive (by clicking on the icon that
represents your CDROM drive) and the subdirectory
\SUPPORT\GRAPHICS
- Highlight the file to be printed
5 A Day Logo - 5DAYLOGO.BMP
Certificate - CERTIFIC.BMP
Token Summary Sheet - TOKENSUM.BMP
- Select Print under File

b) Error Messages
With Print Manager enabled, you get the message:

settings may not match those required by your printer.
Cancel the print job, or choose the Printers option in
Control Panel or the Printers Setup command in Print
Manager to specify the correct port settings."
OR with Print Manager enabled or disabled, you get the message:

"Retry" in the error message dialog box. If the message occurs
again, click on "Cancel" and consult the printer manual. You may
