While the Player's Manual available to students cannot be printed, this manual may be printed.  We removed that feature from the Player's Program at the request of users who stated that student printing of manuals was clogging their computer facilities.  You are authorized to print manuals for students who want them under the following conditions: The manual must be sold to students at cost allowing for the normal markup added to similar material when sold at a bookstore.  Students must have the option of downloading a copy of the manual to a hard drive or flash drive in lieu of purchasing a printed manual.
