User`s manual

Revision B Introduction - iv
Make Your Own Manual
This manual evolved from the observation that users often make their own manuals: they find and
reproduce the instructions that are essential for their jobs and file away the rest. With this in mind, the
writers at Diagraph created this manual so that every easily altered feature occupies only one page
such as Printing a Message (one page); Setting the Date (one page) and Changing the Font (one
page). Only four subjects occupy more than one page and they do not require daily inspection:
Frequently Asked Questions, Setting a Password, Example Messages and Troubleshooting.
This preface is an invitation to find those pages that describe the features that are useful at your
location, copy them and assemble your own “cheat sheet” of instructions. In the discovery process, try
the example messages (Section G) to learn more about the printer and its capabilities. Also review the
frequently asked questions (A6) to accelerate the implementation of the I.V./700 printer.
The illustration below points out the ease-of-use characteristics of each page.
1 Feature description.
2 Alphabetic reference. See
the table of contents for the

additional instructions.

4 Concise directions.
5 Numbered references to
keys with icons.
6 Representations of the
onscreen prompts.

warnings or key items of

page.
