Getting started with your kit

How to find your files, open them, and print the parts you want. It takes about five minutes.

Last updated October 8, 2026

1. Find your files

  1. Look for the receipt email from Gumroad. If it isn’t in your inbox, check the spam or promotions folder.
  2. Select View content in the receipt. A page opens with your five PDF files.
  3. Keep that email. Its button always brings you back to your files, including any updated versions.

No receipt? Check your spam folder first. You can also create a free account at gumroad.com/library with the email address you used to buy; your purchase appears there.

2. Which file do I open?

Open 00 Start Here first. It shows which file to use and where to begin.

  • 00 Start Here — Read this first: which file to use, how to open and print, and where to begin (PDF, 2 pages)
  • 01 Plain Steps Guide (US Letter) — The complete guide · 8.5 × 11 in · for the US and Canada (PDF, 117 pages)
  • 02 Plain Steps Guide (A4) — The complete guide · 210 × 297 mm · for most other countries (PDF, 116 pages)
  • 03 Print & Keep Pack (US Letter) — Desk cards and worksheets on their own, for easy reprinting (PDF, 10 pages)
  • 04 Print & Keep Pack (A4) — Desk cards and worksheets on their own, for easy reprinting (PDF, 10 pages)

You only need one paper size: US Letter in the United States and Canada, A4 in most other countries.

3. Open them

  • To read without downloading: select Read next to a file on the Gumroad page. It opens in your browser and remembers your page.
  • To save a copy: select Download. On a Windows computer, downloads go to your Downloads folder; here’s how to find it.
  • To search: in most PDF readers, press Ctrl+F on a computer, or use the search button on a phone or tablet, then type a word like “print” or “bigger”.

4. Print what you need

  • You don’t need to print all 117 pages. Good places to start: the desk cards, the cards for things you do often, and the Scam Check.
  • In the print window, choose your paper size and set the size to 100% or Actual size if your printer offers it.
  • Black-and-white printing works fine: every color label also has a letter or a word.
  • The desk cards print two to a page. Cut along the dashed line.
