Added origin story, although I intentionally left out the name of the modem tech writer (Goldie) in case she wishes to remain anonymous. |

==Requirements==
The requirements for setting up a quick start guide are not set in stone. It is up to the technical writer to become familiar with the mindset of the user, as well as with the character of the product. This being said, there is indeed a legal obligation, namely to refer to the complete manual (see the international IEC-82079 standard). Also, it is imperative to include [[Safety|instructions for safe use]] of the product in any QSG.
== Origins ==
In 1985 the [[Inmac]] corporation published the first Quick-Start guide with one of their 1200-baud modems, allowing the modem to be setup and configured using the most common or default settings. The request for that type of easy-setup instructions came from a [[Fortune Systems]] Fortune 32:16 computer [[Value-added reseller]] who asked that he didn’t have to read a 100-page manual just to be able to connect a dial-up modem for his clients.
