4. Setting Spec*Edge
™
to Start Automatically:
The installation process placed the Spec*Edge
™
systems into the Windows
list of programs. To have Spec*Edge
™
startup when the computer is turned on or
when Windows is started, follow the normal instructions in Windows to create
Spec*Edge
™
as the startup program. This is accomplished by:
Step 1: Click your mouse once on <Start> in the Taskbar.
Step 2: Click your mouse once on <Settings>.
Step 3: Click your mouse once on <Taskbar…>, to open the Taskbar
Properties Window.
Step 4: Click your mouse once on <Start Menu Programs> near the
top of the window.
Step 5: Click your mouse once on <Add…> to open the Create
Shortcut Window.
Step 6: In the Command Line: edit field, type
“C:\SpecEdge\SpecEdge.exe”. If Spec*Edge
™
was installed in
some other directory than “C:\SpecEdge” this field may have to
be modified. Alternatively, you may wish to use the <Browse…>
function to find the Spec*Edge
™
executable.
Step 7: Click your mouse on <Next>, a window will open showing the
various Start Menu folders. Find the folder named <StartUp>,
highlight it by clicking your mouse on it once.
Step 8: Click your mouse once on <Next>.
Step 9: Click your mouse on <Finish>.
Step 10: Click your mouse on <OK>.
5. Printers:
The Windows printer environment is recommended for most users since it
supports any of the hundreds of printer types which have windows drivers and
produces higher print quality output. Using the Windows printer option, the
normal Windows print manager functions are available. Spec*Edge
™
will always
use the default printer as specified in the Windows Control Panel. To change the
default, click on <Start> <Settings> <Printers>, highlight the desired printer by
clicking on it with the left mouse button and then select <File> <Set as Default>.
See your Windows documentation for more details on these functions.
