                            INTRODUCTION

4PRINT is a utility for the HP LaserJet, Series II, Series II-D,
DeskJet and close compatibles which will print multiple copies of
multiple ASCII files, four 66-line pages per sheet of paper (plus
title lines).  Special handling for wide documents and spreadsheets,
proportional fonts and IBM-sized binders is included.  The program is
extremely easy to use, and has a comprehensive set of options for
formatting and operations control.


                        INCLUDED FILES

The 4PRINT system consists of the following files:

        READ.ME         This file
        WHAT'S.NEW      New features since previous version(s)
        SHARE.DOC       Shareware registration and disk vendor information
        SITELIC.DOC     Site license information
        4PRINT.DOC      Full documentation (33 pages)
        4PRINT.EXE      The 4PRINT program
        LINEPRNT.DOC    Shareware information from Elfring Soft Fonts
        LP085R16.USL    Elfring small landscape Letter Gothic soft font
        ID1000          Used to load soft font (see below)
        PERM            Used to load soft font (see below)


                            QUICK START

If you simply type "4print" on the command line, the program will provide
information on how to use most of its options.  4PRINT is a very "rich"
program, though, so we suggest you print and read the User's Guide first
in order to enjoy the full benefits of 4PRINT's advanced features.


                    PRINTING THE DOCUMENTATION

You can use 4PRINT itself to print the documentation (single-sided, with
no header and no scan pass) as follows:

        C>4print 4print.doc -s -h -q     (add drive and path if necessary)

Note that 4PRINT will print on both sides of the paper if you eliminate
the -s option, but we don't recommend using this feature on a LaserJet
or Series II until you've read the documentation.  If you have a II-D,
you can get double sided documentation with no user intervention like this:

        C>4print 4print.doc -d -h -q

If you use some other means to print the documentation full-sized,
please make sure that your printer is set up for 66 lines per page.


                            DESKJET USERS

4PRINT Version 3 supports many additional HP-compatible printers,
including the HP DeskJet.  No special font is required to use 4PRINT
with the DeskJet, but your printer must be equipped with the optional
landscape cartridge.


  LASERJET PLUS USERS (AND THOSE WISHING TO PRINT IN LETTER GOTHIC FONT)

The HP LaserJet+ does not provide the landscape line printer font required
by 4PRINT.  However, by "uploading" the soft font supplied in this archive,
you can use a LaserJet+ (or other compatible without landscape line printer
font) with no 4PRINT modifications or special parameters required.

This font is actually a small Letter Gothic font, and for many purposes is
preferable to the internal line printer font supplied with the Series II.
Therefore, you may want to load the soft font even if you already have a
line printer font.

Note that this soft font is supplied on a shareware basis from Elfring
Soft Fonts.  If you use the font beyond a fifteen day evaluation period,
you must register with Elfring for a fee of $10.  Full information from
Elfring may be found in the file LINEPRNT.DOC, along with details about
other fonts and software which will enable you to extend the usefulness
of your laser printer.

If you already have font upload software, simply upload the LP085R16.USL
file as a permanent font using any convenient font number.  4PRINT will
automatically select this font for each run until your printer is turned
off.

If you don't have upload software, issue the following command (on the
DOS command line or as part of a batch file) to upload the soft font:

    C>copy/b ID1000+LP085R16.USL+ID1000+PERM LPT1:     (or LPT2:)

The soft font will be uploaded as permanent font #1000, and 4PRINT will
automatically select this font until the printer is turned off.
