Printing from the IBM Library Reader or IBM Softcopy Reader is awful! How can I get a decent printout of a softcopy book?
The print facility in the IBM Library Reader or IBM Softcopy Reader is meant to print only a topic or two of a book. You can, however, print your own hardcopy when you need it from the softcopy files provided, whether you are accessing those files from a CD-ROM, the OS/390 or z/OS Internet library, or a local repository or Web site. For a complete hardcopy book that looks like a traditional manual you would order from IBM, print the PDF file for the book. If you are viewing a softcopy file and you want hardcopy of a topic or two, you can print either the BOOK or PDF file you are viewing. Starting in September 1998, we offer a collection of OS/390 PDF files for viewing and printing: OS/390 PDF Library Collection, SK2T-6718. We also offer a collection of z/OS PDF files on the z/OS Collection, SK3T-4269, starting in March 2001. Go back to the list of questions.
