USING GRAPHIC MACROS ON A HP LASERJET OR COMPATIBLE PRINTER.

Before you can use Laserjet graphic macros, you must load the images to your
HP LaserJet or compatible printer's memory.  This can be done by using the 
DOS command:
          A> COPY /B *.MAC PRN

This will copy the signature image to the printer. The image will have a
macro ID of 1.

To use the Graphic Macro within your word processor or other application
program, you must have the ability to insert a printer command (escape sequence)
at the point where you wish the image to print.

The escape sequence remains constant for a given image.  The method of entering
the escape sequence will vary depending upon what software you are using.

To print the signature, position your cursor where you want the image to appear.
The escape sequence is:
     <ESC>&f1y3X          print the signature at the current position

Brief instructions for various word processors follow.  Please check your word
processor documentation to clarify any questions you may have.  The following
represent only a single method of inserting an escape sequence in a document for
each application program.  There may be other methods available for
accomplishing the same thing.


MICROSOFT WORD for DOS

At the point where you would like the image to appear, enter the escape
character by holding down the ALT key and entering 027 from the numeric keypad.
Release the ALT key and enter the balance of the escape sequence.
     ALT-027 &f1y3X    (no space) to print the signature, or

                      
PFS:WRITE
Q & A WORD PROCESSOR

At the point where you would like the image to appear, you must enter the escape
sequence by entering each character as numeric digits in the following format:

The decimal equivalent of the escape sequence is:
     *P 27,38,102,49,121,51,88*           print the signature, or


WORDPERFECT 5.x

The way that Word Perfect sends data to the printer, requires entering a single
space character immediately before the escape sequence.

To enter the escape sequence:
     SHIFT-F8          format menu
     4                 other formats
     6                 printer functions
     2                 printer commands
     1                 enter a command 
     <27>&f1y3X        print the signature, or
     F7                exit back to your document


DBASE, FOXBASE, ETC.

Once a graphic macro is loaded in the printer's memory, it can be activated from
within dBASE programs by simply "printing" the escape sequence.

For example, if you are formatting a report with the "@ xx,yy SAY" you would
simply
     @ xx,yy SAY CHR(27)+"&f1y3X"        print the signature, or
