  Printing a Section or Book

  You can print the section you are reading, one or more
  sections from the book that is open, or an entire book.

  Two types of formatting are available:

  *   PostScript(R)

      Bookreader generates a PostScript file that closely resem-
      bles the information you see online.  Graphics, tables, and
      other elements are printed as well.

  *   ASCII text

      Bookreader generates a text file in ASCII format.  The
      text is converted to a monospaced font, graphics are not
      included, and tables are formatted as closely as possible to
      the online version.

  You can also  extract the section or book to a file       for
  printing later by using the same menu option on the File
  menu.

  Follow these steps to print one or more sections, or an entire
  book:

  1.   Depending on what you plan to print, choose the appro-
      priate task from the following table.

  Bookreader places a copyright statement at the beginning
  of all printed information.  If the book contains a copyright
  section, Bookreader uses that information in its copyright
  statement.  Otherwise, it uses an HP copyright statement.

  Because of copyright protections or other similar reasons, the
  author of a document may choose to suppress the ability to
  print it.  If you attempt print one of these books you see the
  following message:

  The  author  of  this  document  has  elected  to  disallow  printing.
