Adobe Acrobat PDF-formatted manuals give you more flexibility and convenience than
do hardcopy manuals when you have to access information. Here are some of the
advantages PDF-formatted manuals provide:
You can store the PDF manuals in a central location for access by anyone on
the network.
You can view the manuals on web browsers using the Acrobat plug-in.
You can view the manuals on-screen in different formats (side-by-side or two-
up, one page at a time, scrolling two-up, article flow, and zooming capability up
to 800%).
You can conduct full-text searches through all of the manuals.
You can watch QuickTime video clips that enhance the text and illustrations for a
number of commonly performed procedures. (When installing the Reader, be sure
to install QuickTime, too.)
You can print only the manual pages that you need.
The PDF-formatted manuals have been enhanced for on-screen viewing and
navigation. Throughout each manual are numerous hotlinks to cross-reference
points. The table of contents and the index are fully hotlinked to their respective
page references, and all World Wide Web addresses are linked to their respective
home pages.
We hope you enjoy using the Acrobat software to access the information in your man-
uals. They’ll never become dog-eared and yellowed or collect dust on some forgotten
shelf with quick online access. Your PDF-formatted manuals will empower you to take
full advantage of all the capabilities of your printer.

When you use Acrobat to view your manuals, keep the following tips in mind for using
some of the navigation features built into Acrobat and your manuals.
You may view the document in three different styles: page only, with bookmarks, or
with thumbnails. Try each to see which you like best. Viewing with bookmarks will
enable you to use a quick table of contents to move around the document.
The toolbar also gives you quick access to page navigation features. For example,
you may click a button to advance (>) or reverse (<) one page, go to the start (|<)
or end (>|) of the document, or use the history button (<<) to go to the previous
pages you viewed. There are other buttons in the toolbar to change view or mag-
nification of the document.
As you browse through the document the open hand tool will sometimes turn into
a pointing hand. You have discovered an embedded link in the manual. You will
find these links in the table of contents, index, WWW addresses, and cross refer-
ences. Click on the link to jump to a new location.
If you discover a movie camera icon, click the icon to play a QuickTime
video clip of the procedure described in the text.
Use the Acrobat Reader Online Help for a more complete explanation of
these features.
