3. Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions ----------------------

Note the following limitations when using the printer driver or printing a document with a printer.

In order to install the printer driver, you must log into the system as an Administrator.

Before installing this software, be sure to check the following. 
1. Close any application software running on your computer. 
2. If a document is being printed, either stop printing or wait for printing to end. 
3. Close all printer driver dialog boxes.

If the software application supports print copies, you can set up with either the application software or the printer driver.

When setting scaling with an application, make sure the printer driver scaling is set to 100%.

If Page Layout Printing is selected under Page Layout on the Layout sheet, do not use the collate function in the software application. Click the Collate option on the Layout sheet to use collated printing.

When using scaling function, an error occurring from the difference between the degree of scaling and resolution may cause lines and other distortions to appear in the printout.

When printing reduced scaling color image data, 1 dot wide lines and points may not be printed.

Some applications may not print lines with almost horizontal angles correctly. If this occurs, redraw lines horizontally.

Immediately after installing the printer driver (including new editions), some application software may not be able to recognize new functions. Select Print in the File menu of all application software with a printer function, and then select the name of the printer you're using, and click the Properties button. When the Properties dialog box opens, click the OK button to close.

When binder printing with the Microsoft Binder, click off the check box for executing binder printing as one job. Each print job will be processed as a separate print job.

When a watermark is specified with too many letters, or with letters in very large font sizes, the watermark may not print.

Watermark text including F040 and up of external characters will not be printed.

For some applications, watermarks may print incorrectly for the first printing.

If you change the printer name in the General sheet of the printer driver's Properties dialog box, Profiles registered in the print driver become ineffective, so store your customized settings in a file before changing the printer name. After changing the printer name, load the stored file.

High resolution printing requires a large amount of computer memory. If there is very little computer memory available or you are using a large amount of application software, the application software may not operate normally. In this event, restart Windows and shut down any applications that are not being used when restarting printing. If printing still does not proceed normally, select a lower resolution in the Print Quality setting in the Main sheet.

With a local connection, if Enable bidirectional support in the Port sheet of the printer driver's Properties dialog box has no check mark, printer information and device information cannot be obtained normally.

When performing background printing with Microsoft Word 98, do not change the printer's resolution setting. If you do, Windows operation may become unstable.

When using a printer connected with USB, do not use Standby mode. You can set Standby mode in Power Options in Control Panel.

With Microsoft Excel, when Collate has a check mark and you perform multiple sheet printing or Entire workbook printing with different printing settings for each sheet, if you perform Page Layout Printing, the results may not be those intended.

When Novell Client for Windows NT/2000 Ver. 4.71 is used in a NetWare environment, in the Port sheet of the printer driver's Properties dialog box, the Port selection and display may not be correct. However, the print job executes normally.

When Novell Client for Windows NT/2000 Ver. 4.71 is used in a NetWare environment, the printer driver cannot be installed with the NetWare Printer Manager. Nor can a printer driver downloaded by the Netware Administrator be installed. Install the printer driver using Add Printer or the imagePROGRAF Installer.

When using the installer in a NetWare environment, normal installation may not be possible. If this occurs, after deleting the old driver, install the printer driver from Add Printer.

When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may time out during printing and printing may not be possible. If this occurs, open the Advanced sheet in the printer driver Properties dialog box and tick the Start printing after last page is spooled checkbox in  Spool print documents so program finishes printing faster.

Thin line, gradation etc. printing may not be possible. If this occurs, open the printer driver's Properties dialog box from Print in the application software's File menu, and try printing following the steps below. 
1. Remove the check from Open Preview When Print Job Starts in the Main sheet. 
2. Remove the check from Page Layout in the Layout sheet. 
3. Click the Special Settings button in the Layout sheet to open the Special Settings dialog box, and remove the check from Fast Graphic Process.

When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may take time out during printing, and printing may not be possible. If this occurs, extending the Job Time Out set time with the printer's operation panel may enable printing.

You may not be able to print data for large size media with Adobe Illustrator and other software. If this occurs, try printing after performing the following. 
 -Open the Main sheet and untick the Open Preview checkbox. 
 -Open the Layout sheet, click the Special Settings button and untick the Fast Graphic Process checkbox. 
 -Increase the amount of memory allotted to virtual memory. 
 -Set to Service Pack 4 when using Windows 2000. 
 -Place or remove a check from the ON/OFF check box in Bitmap Printing in the Print dialog box when using Adobe Illustrator.

When installing this software from the installer, if you fail to follow the screen instruction to restart your computer, Microsoft Office may operate incorrectly. If this occurs, restart your computer.

To switch the units display between inches (US) and mm (Metric) for the Media Size settings and other displays, in the menu for the Regional Options in the OS control panel, select Input Locales.

If you are using NDS (Novell Directory Services) in a NetWare environment, or using NDPS (Novell Distributed Print Services), then install the printer driver from the Add Printer icon. The printer driver may not install correctly using the installer.

If one printer is used with both USB and network connection, please install the imagePROGRAF Status Monitor.

For some applications, when using functions such as Scaling, N Pages per Sheet, and Edging, output with graphics data may diverge from the original.

Color settings dialog box can be performed for each object. However, with some software applications the print results may not be what you expect after text and graphic data handling.

When printing data that includes an extremely large image from a computer with little available memory or from Windows 2000, it may take time to print, a portion of the image may be missing, or it may otherwise not print properly. If this occurs, try printing after performing the following. 
 -Print from Windows 7/Vista/XP. 
 -Open the Layout sheet and click the Special Settings button. Then untick the Fast Graphic Process checkbox. 
 -Increase the amount of memory allotted to your computer. 
 -Increase your OS's virtual memory.

When the printer is shared in a network environment and the operation systems of a server and a client computer are both Windows 2000, you may not be able to print correctly using Custom Media Size Name defined from the client computer. In this case, you may be able to print if you click the Enable advanced printing features check box off on the Advanced sheet on the Properties dialog box in the printer driver.

If you used Photoshop for printing, tone jump may occur in the gradation of monochrome photographs.

Stamps and page borders may not be printed correctly when the following Print Quality settings are combined with large paper sizes:

The installer does not support Unicode. The installer may not operate correctly if Unicode is used for a printer's or shared printer's name. If the installer does not operate correctly, try the following. 
  -Change the printer name. 
  -Install the printer driver from Add Printer.

Images may not print centered in the middle if you have checked the box for Center Image  in the print preview window and have performed printing with Photoshop CS3. If you are unable to print, click the Page Setup button in the Photoshop print preview window, and print after making print settings.

Data created with Microsoft Word may not print properly when printing with Enlarged/Reduced Printing. If it does not print properly, select Enlarged/Reduced Printing from the Page Setup sheet for the printer driver, and then close the Print dialog box without proceeding to print. Open the printer driver settings window once more, close it with OK, and then proceed to print.
