Installing FinePrint 2000
FinePrint is a 'virtual' printer driver that prints to screen instead of printing directly to paper. It enables a preview of any print job before sending that job to paper. It also enables a user to shrink their work and print multiple pages on one sheet of paper. FinePrint is supplied on MarkBook version 8.1 and higher CDs. Or, download a demo from www.fineprint.com. Install the version for your Windows computer.

MarkBook's Add Names Screen

Double click the selected file to initiate installation. Once installed, FinePrint will be in the printer folder and is used just like any other printer. Use Windows Control panel to make it the Default printer. It's easy to bypass even when it's the default.

Using FinePrint for Print Previews

The software will print any job to screen. The following example is for a single Student Report. After selecting among the many options, click the Print Detailed Report button on the MarkBook screen. If set as the default printer, FinePrint will open on top of the current screen as in this image.

There will be a thumbnail image of the intended printout in the center of the screen. Put your mouse over the thumbnail and click once. The thumbnail will expand to nearly fill the screen. Examine the printout to see if it’s satisfactory.

If the screen printout is NOT satisfactory, click anywhere on the expanded image to return to the thumbnail. Click the red X in the upper right corner of the FinePrint screen to close FinePrint. Re-select among the MarkBook options and try again.

If the screen printout IS satisfactory, select the preferred paper printer from FinePrint’s Printer menu in the lower left of the screen. Then click the Print button at the bottom. Note that there are other printer control options on the FinePrint screen.
