dave carlstedt Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I wish to have the software manual printed by a third party...such as Kinko's. Has anyone done this? Since it is over 500 pages, I dont want to use my printer, as it is much cheaper and faster to job it out. Has anyone else done so....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Young Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It sounds like you will printing the help files. If so, there will be lots of redundancy. I have not played with the help files for S3, but S2 certainly has a fair amount, as I expect S3 will, hence the high page #.Yes, I have used Kinko's to print manuals for conferences and presentations. Take them a pdf, and they will take it from there, for a price (usually a pretty reasonable one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, they'll last for thousands of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdracer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It would be cheaper for you to rewrite & get published, than pay kinkos to print it double sided! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Young Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 It seemed to good to be true, and when it seems that way it usually is.Hidden costs - sort of reminds you of airlines these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim6918 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am going to get caught one of these days, but I print the manual at work on our huge Xerox WorkCentre. Making two sided copies it only takes about 10 minutes or less to print.Although I use the printed manual quite a bit, I don't think you can knock the ease of maneuvering around the on-line manual. The hot links are outstanding and you can search very easily. If I am getting into unchartered territory, I usually bring up the manual on my second monitor and do the work on the primary side, that way I am not tabbing back and forth between screens.
