About the manuals
Three manuals support OMEGA
−
Getting Started with OMEGA , the OMEGA Learning Guide ,
and the OMEGA Reference Manual .
Getting Started with OMEGA provides information on setting up and connecting your computer,
security block, and peripherals. Instructions for loading software, some basic troubleshooting
advice, and an introduction to new features in OMEGA are also included.
The OMEGA Learning Guide provides a hands-on tutorial that teaches you about many of the
tools, commands, and features used to create and print effective and eye-catching designs.
This reference manual is written from a task-oriented perspective. Rather than discussing tools
or features as concepts, the manual presents information as solutions to design and production
problems. It is organized as a series of books about specific topics, such as “Creating the Basic
Design”, “Adding Color to the Design”, and “Editing the Design and Shapes.” The books are
further divided into chapters that address specific situations. For example, in the book “Editing
the Design and Shapes”, the chapters are “Editing the Design”, “Editing Points or Parts of
Shapes”, and “Reducing the Number of Points to Improve Cutting.” Refer to the Table of
Contents and Index to quickly locate information when designing and producing jobs.
