DoctorHfuhruhurr 137 #1 Posted October 23, 2010 Here are some manuals I've acquired (791) if anyone wants them. I removed all passwords and advertising watermarks. I've also run them through Optical Character Recognition which converted most of the scanned image manuals so that they now can be searched and indexed since you can't search a image for a text string. I also reduced the overall size of the files by 100Mb. I added them to Windows 7 search index so that I can do quick searches of all the manuals for parts, attachments, models, etc. I find it to be quite the time saver to have them all in once place and easily searched. They will also all fit on a CD. 498Mb compressed, 571Mb uncompressed http://www.mediafire.com/file/dwp459700tbhuc3/whmanuals1.rar http://www.mediafire.com/file/6r5umvdfz6a538a/whmanuals2.rar http://www.mediafire.com/file/zvl5bdo6unm6g79/whmanuals3.rar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brrly1 1,146 #20 Posted November 3, 2010 Anonymous, Thanks alot, appreciate the files vey much, it makes it a whole lot easier than digging out the manuals or breaking out the fisches. My question to you is how do I get the manuals to print out full size? They print out compacted, kinda of shrunk. I guess it doesn't help that I am your basic computer illiterate(Dummy) I can only try. Thanks ahead See Ya, Bye Burly :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just thought I would ask Thanks See Ya, Bye Burly When you choose Print and it brings up the Print pop-up box there is a setting called "Page Scaling". Check to see that it's set to "Fit to Printable Area". I think yours may be set to "None" which would make it tiny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
