Operation

Insert your Print it! Icon Maker USB stick into your computer’s USB port. For PC computers: Next double click on my computer, and then double click on the USB Stick to view the contents of the Icon Maker. For Macintosh computers: once you have put the USB stick into your computer’s USB port a folder should appear on your computers desktop. Open the folder to view the contents of the Icon Maker.
You will first need to print out a blank template. Please Note: all icon sheets and blank templates are in Adobe PDF format. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat reader to view this software, on your computer All Macintosh computers should have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader already installed, if not go to www.Adobe.com and download the appropriate free version of Acrobat Reader for your computer. To determine what operating system you have if your not sure, follow these simple steps. For PC computers: hold your cursor over the My Computer icon and right click your mouse, then select properties from the drop-down menu. This will tell you what operating system you have.
To install the Adobe Acrobat reader simply double click on the folder labeled Adobe Acrobat Reader. Next double click on the file contained in the folder and the software will self install, and then follow any instruction or prompts it gives you.
Now you are ready to work with your Print it! Icon Maker. Each folder contains sheets of pre-made icons in alphabetical order.
Please Note: If you see icons on a sheet you want to use, you must print the whole sheet out, and you cannot pick individual icons or groups of icons to print out.
Before printing make sure, your page scaling is set to NONE and print orientation is set on LANDSCAPE.
Print or copy your Icon sheet onto a piece of 8 1/2″ by 11″ sticky backed label paper.
Cut out the Icons you need, peel off the backing and press it in place within the Icon template guidelines (See figures #1 through #4 on How to Make an Icon example sheet). Make sure the Icon sticker edges are completely flat so the strip will not get caught in the communicator.
After your Icons have been applied to the Icon template sheet, cut your Icon strip out along the dotted lines (See figure #5). When inserting your icon strip into the communicator hold down the leading edge so it will not get caught on the cell dividers (See figure #6). If needed, a thin laminate sheet such as those used to protect book covers may be applied over your icon strip to protect it.
Please Note: The How to make an Icon sheet is an example using our Talk 4 & 8 Communicators as a guideline to follow. Each communicator and or switch will be slightly different. Some of the communicator folders contained on this USB stick will have their own User’s Guide to note any additional instructions need to make their Icon sheets.
