GETTING STARTED:

• Click on the left preview window.
• Browse to the cover you want to print and select it.
• The preview window shows the image as it will be printed. The format is automatically detected and applied. If not correct you can change it using the combobox above the preview.
• If Ok hit the Print Left button below the preview to print the cover.

USER INTERFACE LANGUAGES:
You can change the language of the user interface in the menu: Select Options -> Language and choose the language you want. The selected language is immediately applied.

SKINS:
You can change the way UnderCoverXP looks via skins. The skins can be selected using the menu Options -> Skins.

PREDEFINED TEMPLATES:
UnderCoverXP comes with templates for most common formats. There are some special templates with some build in intelligence like conversion of spines when you select a slimline DVD case as output and loaded a regular DVD case.

FORMAT EDITOR:
If the predefined templates not (completely) suit your needs you can changed them in the format editor. Use the menu Options -> Format Editor to access it. You can change, rename, delete, copy or create new templates.

OPTIONS:
There are several options available in the Options dialog. Use the menu to select Options -> Options to access the dialog. The following things can be changed.

Automatically correct orientation when loading covers:
If for instance a DVD cover is oriented horizontally it does not fit on a A4 or Letter page. Checking this option will automatically rotate such an image to fit.

Automatically detect format of loaded images:
Based on the aspect ratio the format of the loaded image will be determined and the correct format will be applied if this option is checked. If it is not checked the last used format will be used by default.

Dummy Print Job Name:
When printing on a network everybody can see which application you are using and which file you are printing. Checking this option you can "mask" this, e.g. using the default 'Microsoft Word - Document1' identification.

Reload previous covers at startup:
When this option is checked the covers you last used when closing UnderCoverXP are reloaded when UnderCoverXP is started again.

Try To load matching covers:
When this options is checked UnderCoverXP tries to load the right image if the left image was selected. If you open a front cover of a CD jewel case called 'front.jpg' UnderCoverXP tries to load 'back.jpg' on the right side.

Show Splash screen:
This option enables/disables showing the splash screen at startup.

Correct if a cover is positioned outside the printable area:
This option tries to move the image if the settings of the selected format position one side of the image outside the printable area of your printer. The printable area can be viewed in the Print preview. It is indicated by a red rectangle. In the example below the DVD insert is positioned outside the printable area at the bottom of the paper. This would result in a cut-off print if not corrected. There is space at the top to shift the image up to make it fit.

Enable Batch Mode:
Checking this option enables dropping of multiple files on the (left) preview window of UnderCoverXP or selection multiple files in the File Open dialog. The format of the files will either be autodetected or all forced to a specific format. This can be set in the dialog which will be shown before printing.

Draw a border around the covers:
This option results in a black border drawn around the printed covers. Especially light covers will benefit as you can see the actual cover dimensions of the printout.

Check For new versions at startup:
Selection this option results in a message at startup when UnderCoverXP detects there is a new version available on the UnderCoverXP website. You can enable the use of a proxy when you are behind a proxy (at the office).

Use Gray scale for skins:
Checking this option results in the images in the main window to be drawn in gray scale. Some people prefer this to have a more quit screen. You can also select the Clean skin or even use both the Clean skin and the Gray Scale option.
