[General Issue]
- If intensive (or bookbinding) printing of the direction mixture data is carried out, direction or scaling of the figure in a document may not be printed correctly.
- When you carry out bookbinding printing, there are the following restrictions.
- If you choose "Auto tray select" as input tray in the driver setting screen, bypass tray is the outside for search.
- If you specify input tray in the driver setting screen, your print job is reset and printing is interrupted.
- If the PC name is set with a character string containing 16 bytes or more, Hostname on the banner is printed only up to 15 bytes.
- If you check "Choose paper source by PDF paper size" function of Adobe Reader, "Layout" function may not be operated normally. In that case, This can be prevented by enabling the application's "Print As Image" function.
- With specific application, depending on the combination of post-processings features and number of copies set on the printer driver, only 1 copy is printed out even if set with multiple copies.
Post-processing features are the following.
- Staple
- Punch
- Fold
- Sort
- Perfect Binding
- Layout and Booklet etc.
The example of specific application : Microsoft Office
- When you print a Booklet (or the Layout) and Mirroring combined printing result is specified direction and may open the reverse.
- Use of the "Edge to Edge Print" function with the Layout function might result in page contents being slightly larger than normal.
[OS/Windows Related Issues]
- The driver's "Web Image Monitor" button might not work in an IPv6 environment.
- When using Windows XP, users might not be able to update the printer options by using the driver's "Update Now" button or "Automatically Update Printer information" setting. If this situation occurs, log off from the current user account and log on again or reboot the PC.
[Driver Setting Related Issues]
- Stamp might not be printed when using the following applications:
- When printing from Adobe InDesign, border lines might be printed around an object that overlaps a black-colored object. A workaround for this issue is to save the document as a PDF file, open the file with Adobe Reader and print it using "Print as image".
- The number of copies setting of the printer driver might not work as expected when printing the following applications:
- Adobe Reader
- Adobe Acrobat
- Adobe Illustrator
- Adobe InDesign
Workaround:
Set the number of copies in application.
- If the Staple setting is "2 at Center" or if the "Reverse Order"setting is On, the driver will add an extra page to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page will be incremented in the printer's counter. There is no way to prevent this.
- Use of the "Stamp" or "Page Order" functions with some applications, e.g. Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, might produce unexpected results. Use of the application's "Print as Image" function is recommended to overcome difficulties with the these functions.
- When opening print dialog of certain applications(*), resolution displayed on the print dialog might not match print driver's one. You will be able to print at the resoltion you want if you configure it on the print driver.
(*) Example of the affected applications:
- Windows Photo Gallery
- Windows Photo Viewer
- Windows Live Photo Gallery
[Printing Issues]
- Additional Page Count in Duplex Printing. An extra page is added to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page might be incremented in the printer's counter.
- Depending on the combination of text and font settings for watermark, text might not be printed.
In such case, a change of font is recommended.
[B/W print with CMYK setting Issue]
- If the "Color/ Black and White" setting is "Color" some purely BW objects might be printed using CMYK toners (composite black). If the "Color/ Black and White" setting = "Black and White", all objects will be printed using K toner (pure black) only.
[Matching with the Printer/MFP]
- Some applications add an extra page to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page might be incremented in the printer's counter. To prevent such pages from being counted, please turn the device's "Blank Page Print" function off.
- The printing of a document with a filename consisting of 2-byte or extended ASCII characters, might result in the filename not being properly displayed in the operation panel.
