SETUP PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
The setup procedure for all Paradigm programs is the same.
Each program has a utility menu. The first item on the utility
menu directs you to the setup menu. Select that option.
MENU COLORS
Let's assume you want to change the colors on your menus or
the color of the box around the menus.
Choose:
1 <RETURN>
That will take you to the color setting display:
Let's change the color of the box around the menus.
Choose
1 <RETURN>
That will take you to a display of colored boxes with
numbers in them. Enter the number of the box color which you
like. That will take you back to the above display, but the
color of the box around it will have been changed.
The process for changing the other colors is the same. When
you choose a menu item, you will be taken to a numbered color
display. Choosing one of the numbers in the display will change
the color on the above menu.
PRINTER SETUP
From the setup menu:
Choose:
2 <RETURN>
That will result in a printer setup display.
In most cases you will be able to choose a printer from the
list shown on the screen. In case yours is not listed, you will
be asked to supply the following:
1 Print Pica (10 CPI) Usually -- 27 31 13
2 Print Elite (12 CPI) Usually -- 27 31 11
3 Print Compress (15 CPI) Usually -- 27 31 9

You will have to consult your printer manual or your dealer
for the escape sequences your printer uses. The values above
seem fairly universal for daisy wheel printers, but yours may be
different.
If you have a dot matrix printer which is not listed on the
table, try the Epson FX80 to start with.
If your printer does not support one of the items, for
example, printing 12 characters per inch, don't worry about not
including it. The program will probably work ok without it.
AFTER SETTING-UP
After you have chosen a printer from the list, you will be
shown a display which shows the present settings for the printer
you have selected.
Let's say you want to change the PICA setting.
Type:
1 <RETURN>
The program will now ask:
How many characters to print pica?
Answer:
3 <RETURN>
The program will ask:
What is the decimal value of character #1?
Answer:
27 <RETURN>
The program will ask:
What is the decimal value of character #2?
Answer:
31 <RETURN>
The program will ask:
What is the decimal value of character #3?
Answer:

13 <RETURN>
and you will be taken back to the display above.
When you have made the changes you want, press <RETURN> to
indicate that you want to make no further changes. The program
will store your settings and return you to the setup menu.
STORAGE DRIVE
From the setup menu:
Choose:
3 <RETURN>
That should result in this message:
Pressing <RETURN> will leave it unchanged. If you want to
change it you can choose any alphabetical letter from A to Z.
You should now get a confirmation message.
Press return to confirm your choice. Next, you should a
message which prompts you for the date format.
As the question implies, you can use either form of date,
but you must be consistent. Once you have made your choice, you
must stick with it, unless you want to go back through your data
and change a lot of dates.
DISK DRIVE CONSIDERATIONS
If you have the disk space to handle both the program and
the
storage files it creates, for example if you have a hard disk,
you probably should choose the program drive as your storage
drive.
In any case, when you are finished choosing your storage drive,
you will be taken back to the setup menu.
SUB-DIRECTORIES
From the setup menu:
Choose:
4 <RETURN>
If you want to have your storage on a different
sub-directory than where your program is kept, enter the name of
Mini-Ledger Setup Manual
06.07.90 Page 3
sub directory where you want it. It is not necessary to put
either slashes or back-slashes at the beginning and end of the
sub-directory name. The program will provide them.
DELETING A SUB-DIRECTORY SETTING
If you want to set a sub-directory setting to nothing; that
is, ask the program to do its storage in the logged directory,
use your <Del> key to get rid of the characters which are
currently there. If you use the space bar to blank the
characters, the program will think you are asking for a
sub-directory whose name is made up of spaces.
