Operation:
1. Insert your Print it! Icon Maker CD into your computer’s CD drive.
For PC computers: Next double click on my computer, and then
double click on your CD drive to view the contents of the Icon Maker
CD. For Macintosh computers: once you have put the CD into your
computer’s CD drive a folder should appear on your computers
desktop. Open the folder to view the contents of the Icon Maker CD.
2. You will first need to print out a blank template. Please Note: all icon
sheets and blank templates are in Adobe PDF format. If you do not
have Adobe Acrobat reader to view this software, on your
computer, there is a copy for PC (Win 95, 98, 98 SE, Me, 2000 &
XP) contained on this CD. All Macintosh computers should have a
copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader already installed, if not go to
www.Adobe.com and download free, the appropriate version of
Acrobat Reader for your computer. To determine what operating
system you have if your not sure, follow these simple steps. For PC
computers: hold your cursor over the My Computer icon and right
click your mouse, then select properties from the drop-down menu.
This will tell you what operating system you have.
3. To install the Adobe Acrobat reader simply double click on the folder
labeled Adobe Acrobat Reader. Next double click on the file contained
in the folder and the software will self install, and then follow any
instruction or prompts it gives you.
4. Now you are ready to work with your Print it! Icon Maker. Each folder
contains sheets of pre-made icons in alphabetical order. Please Note:
If you see icons on a sheet you want to use, you must print the
whole sheet out, and you cannot pick individual icons or groups of
icons to print out.
5. Before printing make sure your page scaling is set to NONE and print
orientation is set on LANDSCAPE.
6. Print or copy your Icon sheet onto a piece of 8 1/2" by 11" sticky
backed label paper.
7. Cut out the Icons you need, peel off the backing and press it in place
within the Icon template guidelines (See figures #1 through #4 on How
to Make an Icon example sheet). Make sure the Icon sticker edges are
completely flat so the strip will not get caught in the communicator.
8. After your Icons have been applied to the Icon template sheet, cut your
Icon strip out along the dotted lines (See figure #5). When inserting
your icon strip into the communicator hold down the leading edge so it
will not get caught on the cell dividers (See figure #6). If needed, a
thin laminate sheet such as those used to protect book covers may be
applied over your icon strip to protect it.
9. Please Note: The How to make an Icon sheet is an example using our
Talk 4 & 8 Communicators as a guideline to follow. Each
communicator and or switch will be slightly different. Some of the
communicator folders contained on this CD will have their own User’s
Guide to note any additional instructions need to make their Icon
sheets.
Troubleshooting:
Problem: The Print it! Maker CD is not viewable.
Action #1: Make sure that you have placed the CD with the lettering side
facing up.
Action #2: Try a different CD in your CD drive to rule it out as the source
of the problem.
