Buen manual de instrucciones

Las leyes obligan al vendedor a entregarle al comprador, junto con el producto, el manual de instrucciones Citrix Systems MetaFrame Presentation Server.

Según la ley, está permitido adjuntar un manual de otra forma que no sea en papel, lo cual últimamente es bastante común y los fabricantes nos facilitan un manual gráfico, su versión electrónica Citrix Systems MetaFrame Presentation Server o vídeos de instrucciones para usuarios. La condición es que tenga una forma legible y entendible.

Al final, en un manual se pueden encontrar los detalles de servicio técnico Citrix Systems en caso de que las soluciones propuestas no hayan funcionado.
