 Downloading Technical Publications
A condition may exist with a new publication or a
publication that has not been requested digitally,
where the publication is indicated as being
available as a download item but the file has not
been staged to the “Cloud”. When this occurs,
the item cannot be added to the shopping cart as
a download item. A message indicating this
condition will be displayed.

When this occurs, the user will have the

opportunity to “Click Here” and then enter an
email address and be notified when the
publication has been staged to the “Cloud”.
When staged, the item can then be ordered as a
download item.

Search and select the publications as desired and

add them to the shopping cart. Use the orange
Select button to select items for download. When
complete, proceed to checkout.

In Verify Cart during checkout, items selected for

download will be shown as **Download Item**
beneath the publication number. Download items
will have the quantity (QTY) of “1” and the
quantity cannot be changed. Items can be
deleted from the cart if they are no longer desired.

Continue through the checkout process. With

download items, a Flux Player account will be
required. When a download item is in the cart,
this information is required to proceed.

If you already have an account, provide your Flux

Player username (email) and password and then
press Submit.

If you require an account, select “New user?

 Downloading Technical Publications
With the information provided during Tech Pub
checkout, an account with Flux Player will have
already been created. When the user installs,
launches, and signs in to Flux Player using those
credentials, the publications purchased as a
download will appear.

The publication can then be selected and

downloaded to the user’s local device. It is not
possible to open and view a publication on-line. The
publication must be downloaded and viewed using
Flux Player.

Once downloaded, an Internet connection is no

longer required. The document and viewer are fully
functional and portable.

As previously stated, printing of the document is

restricted to five pages at a time. When print is
selected, the user will receive a message “You may
only print 5 pages at a time”. After proceeding to
the print dialog box, the user must specify a range of
pages in the Page Range box. If the pages are not
selected, the user will get an error.

Note: Some of screens shown in this instruction may be taken from test or development screens.
In actual practice, the screens may vary slightly from those shown.
