Adobe Acrobat Troubleshooting Guide

My printer won't print the text

Try setting the print quality at normal or economy rather than best quality or reduce dpi

to 150 rather than 300 dpi. These settings are selected in the printer setup or printer options.

Patterns are not printing full size

Make sure your printer is set to print at 100% and that “print to fit” is not checked.

These settings are selected in the printer setup or printer options.

HP printers

Make sure you are using the latest printer drivers. Printer drivers are available from Hewlett

Packard’s web site: http://www.hp.com:80/cposupport/eschome.html. Printer driver

installation instructions are also available at its web site.

Start with the plywood front,

back, and ends

1 Using the dimensions on page 10

and the layout on the Cutting

Diagram above , mark the outlines for

the front and back (A) on à" plywood.

Mark the door and window openings.

(For interior use, we recommend

birch or fir plywood; for outdoor use

youÕll need exterior-grade plywood.

Use the best grade available. The time

you save not having to fill, sand, and

repaint the voids of a less-expensive

plywood will make up for the extra

expense.)

2 Using a straightedge and a circular

saw, cut the front and back panels to size.

3 To form the openings, use a jigsaw

fitted with a plywood-cutting blade.

Cut the front-door opening to shape,

creating the front door (B). Next, cut

the window openings to shape. (To

avoid drilling blade-start holes when

forming the window openings, we

made plunge cuts with our jigsaw. To

do this, tip the saw as shown in Photo

A. Start the saw (if you have a variable-

speed jigsaw, start with a medium to

high speed and the blade set for straight

reciprocation rather than the orbital

motion). With the front end of the

sawÕs bottom plate firmly against the

plywood, lower the reciprocating blade

into the plywood at the marked line as

shown in Photo B. Keeping the front

end of the plate firmly against the

plywood, continue lowering the saw

until the plate is in full contact with

the plywood. Make the cut. Cut

carefully, and save the cutouts: youÕll

use them for the windows (C).

4 Using the dimensions on page 9 , lay

out the outline, notch, and window

opening, and cut each end (D) to size.

Again, save the cutout from each end

panel for the windows.

5 Carefully mark the panel openings

on one of the four window cutouts (C),

and cut the four openings in each

window to size. Use a drum sander to

sand the rounded corners.
