Installing the FLEXid security key

Attach the FLEXid security key (FLEXid is printed on the key) to the
parallel port of the PC server or stand-alone PC (key drivers are loa ded
during installation). If a printer or other device is using the parallel port,
install the security key on th e port first, the n attach that de vice to the key.
The security key will not interfere with normal device operations.

Please remember to protect your security key; Model Technology will
replace a defective key, but not one that is lost or stolen.

Searching PDF files

The Acrobat Reader with Search provides two methods for finding text
within PDF documents: Search (fast, indexed search), and Find (slower text
search). Look for these icons on the Acr o bat Reader toolbar:

Search icons help you quickly search through an

indexed PDF document. The small binocular icon (the Find icon is larger)
returns a search criteria dialog box. To use Search you must be viewing an

indexed document. See "Requirements for Acrobat Search" (p24) below.

The

Find icon

initiates a simple text search of the PDF file.
Depending on the speed of your machine and the size of the file, Find can
be slow (but effective).
