(2) In xfig, "Export" the with orientation "Portrait" and 
    language "Encapsulated Postscript", stored in "file.eps"

       \documentstyle[12pt,psfig]{article}. 
    Add the following lines in the Latex file at the place where
    the figure will be drawn.
       \begin{figure}
       \centerline{\psfig{figure=file.eps,height=2cm,width=3cm}}
               or \centerline{\includegraphics{file.eps}} %% do not use
       \caption {The explanation for this figure.}
       \label{fig:a_lable}
       \end{figure}
    ---------------------------------- 
    The following way also works.
       \input{epsf.sty}
       \begin{figure}
       \epsfbox{file.eps}
       \end{figure}
    Note the first line \input{epsf.sty} should appear only once in
    the Latex file. 

* Adjust top margin
    If the top of a page is higher than the top margin, then this is the
    printer configuration problem. You can put the following file in
    your subdirectory to resolve the problem.
         config.ps
    From many experiences, the "slide" subdirectory should have the 
    above file.

* Delete the working files
  % /bin/rm -f *.aux *.blg *.dvi *.log *.toc *.idx *.tmp *.ind *.lof *.bbl *.lot
