monitor, you should set the monitor depth to 16-bit 
or higher.  To do this, click on the START menu, 
choose SETTINGS and select CONTROL PANEL. Double 
click on DISPLAY.  Choose SETTINGS and change the 
COLOR PALETTE to HIGH COLOR (or TRUE COLOR).

DO NOT USE PRINT'N SHRINK(TM) MATERIAL IN A LASER 
PRINTER AS IT MAY DAMAGE YOUR PRINTER
Print 'n Shrink(TM) Material is specially designed
for use in color or black and white inkjet printers. 
You cannot use dot matrix, laser or other types 
of printers other than inkjet printers.
_________________________________________
IF YOU EXPERIENCE SOUND PROBLEMS:
If you experience either no sound or choppy sound 
when Barbie(R) is talking or when going from screen
to screen, you should check the sound device you are 
using and change it to "waveOut" if it is not already
selected. (If you do not hear any sounds, first check 
that the speakers are plugged in, turned on, and the 
volume is turned up enough to hear.)

To change the device to "waveOut":
1. Click on the "Start" menu. Click on "Settings". Click on 
"Control Panel". 

2. Double-click on the "QuickTime(R)" icon

3. Click on the pull down menu and select 
"Sound Out"

4. From 'Choose a device for playback:', select 
"waveOut"

5. Exit the QuickTime(R) settings.

If you still experience sound problems on your system, you 
can adjust the size of the sound buffer QuickTime(R) uses.
To adjust the size of the sound buffers, you need to:

1. Open the Control Panels window and open QuickTime(R) 
Settings.
2. Select the Sound Out panel.
3. Select the WaveOut or DirectSound(R) device (depending 
on what is installed in your system).
4. Click on the Options buttons at the bottom of the 
control panel.
5. Try increasing the values (if set at 60, try 120, 
then 180, etc.).
6. Keep adjusting the settings until the audio problem 
is corrected.

KNOWN PRINTING PROBLEMS ON THE HP(R) DESKJET(R) PRINTERS:
The paper guide for the sheet feeders on the HP(R)
DeskJet(R) 340 and HP(R) DeskJet(R) 400 will not adjust 
properly for the 8.5" by 5.5" sheets, causing 
it to misfeed and possibly making the printout 
unusable. To solve this problem, load both the
letterbead label sheets and the Print 'n Shrink(TM)
material from the back of the printer when printing 
your designs.  Also, when printing your letterbead 
designs, you need to select the "Manual" option in 
the Printer Setup screen under "Properties" in order 
for the printer to correctly print the pattern behind 
the designs to show you where to cut them out.

When printing your letterbead designs on the HP(R) 
DeskJet(R) 540, you need to change your print settings to 
correctly print the pattern behind the designs to show 
you where to cut them out.  Click on "Properties", select
"Color Graphics", click on "Options", select "Cluster", 
click "OK".

KNOWN PRINTING PROBLEMS WITH CANON(R) 
BUBBLE JET(R) PRINTERS: 
If you experience crashing when printing your jewelry 
designs to Canon(R) BJC-610 and BJC-620, install the 
Canon(R) BJC-600 driver and use it when printing your 
designs from the software.  You can download a free 
copy of this driver from the Canon(R) website at 
'http://www.ccsi.canon.com/printers/color-1.html'.
_________________________________________
KNOWN PRINTING PROBLEMS WITH EPSON STYLUS(R) 
COLOR PRINTERS:
When printing on the Letterbead Labels and 
Print 'n Shrink(TM) material, some Epson Stylus(R) 
Color series printers will try to feed several sheets 
through the printer. To avoid that problem, load only 
1 sheet at a time in the printer.  After the page has 
printed, if the printer prompts you to load more paper, 
simply turn the printer off to clear the memory and 
reset the printer.
_________________________________________
KNOWN PRINTING PROBLEMS WITH NEC(TM) PRINTERS:
When printing on the Print 'n Shrink(TM) material, the 
NEC(TM) SuperScript(TM) 150c printer may lose contact 
with the paper at the end of the sheet.  This may cause 
the edge of the printing to be slightly distorted.  Try 
gently securing the right side of the paper with your 
finger, as it is printing so that it will remain straight 
when printing the final edge.
_________________________________________
TAKES A LONG TIME TO PRINT:
You may experience very slow printing when your 
monitor depth is set to 256-colors. If available, 
change your monitor settings to a higher color 
depth to speed the printing.  Also, slow printing 
has been seen for files that were not saved. Try 
saving your file before printing.
_________________________________________
PRINTING IS CUT OFF ON THE LABELS and/or 
PRINT 'N SHRINK(TM) MATERIAL:
Make sure to set the paper orientation to PORTRAIT 
before you send the file to print.
___________________________________________
IF THE SOFTWARE CRASHES:
In order to improve the sound quality while using
Barbie(R) Jewelry Designer(TM), some of the 
QuickTime(R) settings are changed while you are 
using the software and restored when you quit the 
software.  If you crash or quit unexpectedly
(such as shutting down the system or using 
Control-Alt-Delete), the QuickTime(R) settings will 
not be restored. To restore the settings to retain 
stereo sound settings for other programs:

1. Open the Control Panels window and open 
QuickTime(R) Settings.

2. Select the SOUND OUT panel.

3. Change the RATE to "22.050 kHz", change the SIZE
settings to "16 bit" and change your USE setting to 
"Stereo".

4. Exit the QuickTime(R) settings.
_________________________________________
LOST PRINTER COMMUNICATION
If you get a dialog box saying that 2-way 
communication with your printer has been lost 
(most commonly seen on the HP(R) DeskJet(R) 600 
series), try quitting the software, re-booting

turning off the music in the program before trying 
to print again. To turn off the music, click on 
the Music Note at the bottom of the screen and
