    Printing Jan bom

    Can anyone advise on how to print the bom pages? When I select print the pages are coming out with a few printed images without word instructions? Thank for any tips.

    I'm not a printer guru, but the first thing I would do is to make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader. This is the program that reads and prints pdfs. Just google "adobe reader download".

      Thank John but that was one of the things I checked and I have the latest update. The print preview shows the printed instruction with the images but the print outs are coming out as images only for some reason. Something is wrong here definitely

        When you download the instructions, are you opening it and then trying to print. Or are you saving the download first, and then opening it on your computer and printing?

        I have the same problem if I don't save the document on my computer and then open it.

          No I've saved to PC and then tried to print. I've tried both ways; saving and print as well as printing directly from the link. Thanks Erica for the help though.

            I arrived at this file by googling. It includes several suggestions.

            I did a Select All/Copy/Paste to a Word Document and got all of the words to print without the images. It's not ideal, but it's something.

                    I did the save PDF to Word and tried printing. Nothing just the instruction without demos showing (blocks) Retried and again and finally for who knows what reason; the printing was done and everything there. Much wasted ink though.Happy now

                      When printing something out, to save on ink, if you go into 'properties', you can change the quality of the printing from 'photo', to 'text' to 'draft' - if you select draft, it uses about half the quantity of ink - ok it is fainter, but still usable.
