A Manual for Online and Print Use
This manual is intended for use in desktop, tablet, and smart phone readers. It includes clickable links and bookmarks to make
navigation and cross-reference easy. We generally recommend against printing, because firmware updates tend to make older
manual versions out of date. That said, considerations have been taken for those who prefer paper. You are granted permission
to print this PDF for personal use only. A copy center or online printer can print and bind a book for you from the PDF file.
Hopefully those with screen readers can forgive the changes made herein to accommodate the print version: all links also
include a page or section numbers, page spreads have extra margins towards the binding edge, and blank pages have been
included to preserve page and chapter flow.
