User guide are often included with the purchase of household appliances. But now it is common in both services, software, applications... It is published in hard copy, or in soft copy (document or application).
Most user guides contain both a written guide and associated images. In the case of computer applications, it is usual to include screenshots of the human-machine interface(s), and hardware manuals often include clear, simplified diagrams. The language used is matched to the intended audience, with jargon kept to a minimum or explained thoroughly." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.09.2021)
