Ok, to start off with this is one EXCELLENT program, and all you need is an
APPLE II+/IIe/Iic with at least 48k of memory or APPLE III in emulation mode.
Optional equipment is as follows: joystick, Koala pad and color ribbons and
paper. To start just boot up the disk and you come to a menu. You can use either
the joystick, cursor keys or the Koala pad to move to the proper program. 
Obviously if this is your first time you will choose SETUP. Now tell it what
type of printer you have, what slot and type of printer Interface and how many
drives you have. You can use Print Shop with only One drive, but once you start
makIng your own designs you will need two. At this point, to test your printer
setup, make sure your printer is ready and type return. You should see 'WELCOME
TO THE PRINT SHOP' print out. If it does were're ready to go!! Oh, one last
thing, to use the KOALA PAD plug it in BEFORE you boot up. Also the buttons may
be used as RETURN and ESCAPE.

                             Greeting Card

To make a Greeting card highlight it on the menu and press return. You have a
choice of 'Ready Made' or 'Design your Own' if you choose design your own, just
follow the step by step instructions. First you'll design the FRONT then the
INSIDE. You'll be asked to choose a border, graphic, graphic size, grahic
layout, and font. There are 3 graphic sizes - small, medium and large. The
staggered graphic layout will evenly space 13 (small) or 5 (med) sized graphics.
The tiled layout will place small graphics side by side on the whole page. Note
that the CUSTOM, TILED or STAGGERED layout can't be used with the large graphic.
The Custom layout lets you choose how many SMALL or MEDIUM graphics will be
printed. Use the arrow keys or koala pad to move to the different positions and
hit return to select. When done just move to the DONE box and hit return. Choose
a FONT and we will type a message. You will now see a box. On the right the 'C'
means centered. By pressing ^P(cntrl=^) you can change it to Flush Left/Right.
On the left side you will see small boxes. You can change the Font being printed
to either SOLID (preset) or OUTLINE or 3-D by pressing ^F (ctrl f). You can also
set the print size (larger or smaller) by pressing ^S. You will not be able to
JUDGE the outcome until AFTER you are done. When you done just hit return and
now you'll go to the INSIDE card design. This is done exactly the same way. When
done with the inside (of the card) you will be presented the print menu. Just
position your paper at the perforations and go! The system will pause with
'THINKING' on the screen and then (eventually) print. Congratulations on you
first card! One last note, using graphics #51-60 in the TILE mode will print
nice backrounds!

                                SIGN 

The SIGN mode will let you print full page signs (no kidding)! These can be of
any graphic supplied or one of your own, that you designed with the Graphics
Editor. The procedure is the same as for The front page of the GREETING CARD.

                               LETTERHEAD

In LETTERHEAD we design the top first. Choose a graphic or no grahic. If you
choose a grahic, you will now see a way to postion them. The options are shown
as you move the highlighter up and down. Select one and you will now have to
choose the FONT. This is the same as for the GREETING CARD with the exception of
not being able to alter the size. Just type in your message. You can use ^F/P as
before also. If you want your address printed the line will wrap around the
screen but will be printed on one line if your message is to long. If you don't
want your address just hit return. For that extra touch you can have a
horizontal line separate your name from the rest of the page. Choosing a graphic
for the bottom is the same as the top. When you have finished the design, you
again get the print menu and VIOLA!! Nice, eh? You can also print multipule
copies to use for your word processing needs.

                              BANNER

Highlight 'BANNER' and return. Choose the FONT that you want, return and now
choose either solid or outline printing. Type your message on the two lines. If
your message doesn't fit, you'll have to edit your message. Only one line can go
on the banner even though you type your message on two. You can also 'CHAIN' two
banners or graphic pictures together. By doing this you can get different fonts
or graphics on one banner. The graphic choices are done the same as in the
GREETING CARD. Choose the postions of the graphics and print.

                         SCREEN MAGIC

Screen Magic is a very powerful SCREEN PRINTING program. It will print different
shades of grey as well as printing the whole screen. The menu has five choices.
They are: See Kaleidescopes, Draw text on screen, Get screen, Save Screen and
Print screen. Let's highlight KALEIDESCOPES first and then go onto the others.
Kaleidescope will let you see 12 different screens. By pressing RETURN you can
advance to the next one. Hitting ESCAPE will freeze the present screen. When you
hit ESCAPE the screen will be put into memory and you will go back to the menu.
Kalidescope 2 will start out like 1 but has only one starting point and return
will not work. Hitting ESCAPE will work though and also put the screen in
memory. NOTE that you can only have one screen in memory at a time. DRAW ON TEXT
will let you do just that with the screen in memory. Just choose a FONT and
type. The number of lines and characters differs with the font size. Also ^F
will toggle between solid and outline. 3-D is not available. Now center your
text. It can be done from top to bottom if you desire. If you want to get a
different screen that you saved previously, just type in the name and drive #.
Hit return for a catalog of RETRIEVABLE screens. Only screens created with the
screen editor are valid. Save screen is just that. It will ask you if you want
to init the disk. If you dont have a inited disk get a SCRATCH and just follow
the directions. Print screen will print the screen in memory. You can choose
between normal or inverse. Inverse meaning that all the BLACK areas of your
screen will be printed. You will also be asked if you want a border around the
screen. This is a single black line and is not like on the GREETING CARDS. The
print menu is like the others with the exception of 'PRINT TOP HALF OR BOTTOM
HALF'? This is if you want to fold the paper in 1/2, as the PRINT SHOP works
only on 8 1/2 x 11 paper.

                               GRAPHIC EDITOR

Last but not least is the Graphic Editor. This will let you edit ANY and ALL
graphics CREATED or USED by the PRINT SHOP. The menu to the right of the drawing
screen is really self explanatory (so is the whole program so why this big text
file??) but (ahah), the one thing you should know about is the ^D- device. This
is NOT for a drive selection!!! This will let you reactivate the KOALA PAD if it
was not on the system when you booted up. The buttons on the joystick and koala
pad act as 'D' for draw and 'E' for erase. NOTES: before you can edit the
original PRINT SHOP graphics, they must be saved to another disk. As I stated
before ONLY graphics created with PRINT SHOP can be used.

Print Shop suggests that if you have a serial printer to set it at 9600 baud.
Try this if your printing is erratic. For those of us that have the OKIDATA 92
we will not get as good graphics as the other printers. This is because the
graphic resolution is only 72x72. The others are 160(120)x72.
