================================================================================
Information on operation 
================================================================================
(1) The maximal print quantity of 9,999 can be specified for the RISO printer.
    Accordingly, if you specify the print quantity of more than maximum
    with certain application software, the specified value will be different
    from the actually printed quantity. Always specify the print quantity
    less than 10,000.

(2) If you print originals (job) including multiple paper sizes at one time,
    proper printing may not be made.

(3) Extremely-light-color texts and illustrations may not be necessarily
    reproduced on the print-out as they should be. If not reproduced
    as required, use darker colors for color specification to reproduce them
    on the print-out.

(4) Extremely-light-color frame lines may not be necessarily reproduced
    on the print-out as they should be. If not reproduced as required,
    use darker colors or use another type of frame lines to reproduce them
    on the print-out.

(5) When you install numbers of RISO Printer Driver in your computer, restart
    your computer after installing each driver. 

(6) When re-installing the printer driver and/or utility software,
    be sure to uninstall the existing ones first and restart your computer.

(7) The Version numbers and Color support data shown in the "Printer Test Page"
    do not indicate the current configuration of the selected printer driver 
    but do the general information given by the Windows system itself.

(8) With some of the operation system and application in use, large
    sized-characters are not treated as text data but as (photo) image data.
    Therefore, the image processing options for text data such as "Solid-look"
    in the [Image] tab may not be available.

(9) When you use a custom paper size, specify paper size and orientation
    in the [Properties] dialog box of the printer driver.

(10) You may not change the settings of the printer driver with some of
     the application in use. If you cannot, the print conditions specified
     in the [Print] dialog box may not be reflected in the settings of
     printer drivers in certain application software programs,
     thus causing unexpected print results. In that case, specify the same 
     settings print conditions as given in the [Print] dialog box
     of the application software program with those concerned
     in the [Properties] dialog box of the corresponding printer driver. 

(11) Unevenness of density may sometimes be seen in a part of photographs or
     illustrations when the "Backlight correction" has been specified as "ON".
     Try to solve the problem by the following methods.
      -Reduce the number of [Screen frequency] in the [Image] tab.
      -Take the checkmarks off from [Backlight correction] and
       [Edge enhancement] in the [Photo adjustment].
     If you use the application which has function to output the document as
     bit-mapped data, output the document as bit-mapped format.

(12) When images to be compressed block by block such as JPEG, PDF are printed
     with "Backlight correction" set to "ON", cyclic block noises may be
     generated. In that case, set "Backlight correction" to "OFF" or reduce
     the compression rate of images. 

(13) When "Backlight correction" is set to be 3 or more, part of the photo
     in white may be tinted with color. In that case, lower "Backlight
     correction" to be 2 or less. 

(14) Much of effect will not be given on photos with high resolution
     in Adobe(R), Page Maker(R), or other applications even if "Edge
     enhancement" is set to "ON". 

(15) The object in gradation, in Adobe Illustrator (R), may have a noise 
     in vertical direction. In that case, set "Backlight correction" to "OFF"
     and set "Edge enhancement" to "OFF". 

(16) When [Fit to Printer Margins] or [Reduce to Printer Margins] is set to
     "ON" and [Auto-Rotate and Center] is also set to "ON" on the print
     dialog box with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader,
     block noises may be generated on the parts of photo. In that case,
     set "Backlight correction" and "Edge enhancement" to "OFF".

(17) If [Choose Paper Source by PDF page size] is set to "ON" on the print
     dialog box with Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, the multiple pages data
     is split into one job per page. In that case, set [Choose Paper Source by
     PDF page size] to "OFF".

(18) When the page-reduce functions such as "2 UP" or "2 in 1" are set to [ON],
     a part of characters or lines may not be printed properly.

================================================================================
Identified defects on printer drivers
================================================================================
(1) Contact your local RISO service representative for the detailed information
    about the defects described below or the actions to be taken against them.

(2) When you enter the measurements of paper sizes, select the unit of
    measurement (mm or inch) first. 

(3) Dotted frame lines may not be reproduced on the print-out with certain
    application software programs. In that case, use another type of
    frame lines such as bold dotted lines, broken lines and solid lines.

(4) When the [Apply] button is available in the current dialog box or tab,
    always click on it to refresh the configuration data.
    Otherwise, the new configuration may be cancelled when you close the dialog
    box or tab concerned.

(5) The decoration patterns shown on the computer display such as paint,
    graphic screen and text screen may appear differently when applied
    on the print-out.

(6) When photo processing is set to "Grain-touch", noises may be generated on
    a part of photo. In that case, perform printing, selecting the
    "Screen-covered". 

(7) For Custom paper entry, do not open nor save files with other extensions
    than UDP.  

(8) The owner name may not be indicated on the control panel of the printer.
    Such a case may be prevented with the procedures below. 

     1. Open the [Print] dialog box from the [Print folder]. 

     2. Click the [OK] to close the dialog box.

================================================================================
Restrictions on application software
================================================================================
(1) When you specify more than one copy while selecting a multi-page (N-up)
    pattern as page layout in the [Print] dialog box on Microsoft Word 2000 or
    Microsoft Word 2002, copies may be produced in a wrong number or page frames
    may overlap on the print-out. In that case, specify only one copy for
    this type of print job and repeat the same job as many times as required to
    produce a desired number of copies.

    For details, refer to the Microsoft web site.

(2) Note that there are some application software programs with in which
    the collating option remains active in any print job, thus causing
    RISO printers to make a master for each printed copy.

(3) When the file with the size of the original other than A4, 
    in Microsoft Word, is opened and the [Paper size] is set to other than
    [Same as original], there might be a case where the zoom up/down
    is not performed as specified. Such a case may be prevented with the
    procedures below.

     1. Specify the printer name as [RISO ...] in advance. When the different
        printer is selected, change the printer's name in the print dialog box
        and click on the [Close].

     2. Display the [Print Preview] (selecting the [Print preview] from
        the menu) and click on the [Close]. 

     3. Perform printing after the [Print] dialog is opened (select the [Print]
        in the [File]) and the [Properties] for the printer driver is set. 

    For details, refer to the Microsoft web site.

(4) In Adobe PageMaker, there might be a case the right and bottom edges of
    the original are took in about 2 mm even though the [Margin-plus] is set to
    ON. This case may be prevented with the procedures below.

     1. Open the [Print] dialog box, open the [Properties] of the printer, 
        set the [Margin-plus] to ON, and close the setting screen of
        the RISO Printer Driver.

     2. Press the [SHIFT] key with the [Print] dialog box in Adobe PageMaker
        displayed to turn the [Print] button to the [finish] button,
        and click the [finish] button to close the dialog box. 

     3. Reopen the [Print] dialog box to perform printing. 

(5) Microsoft Visio, there might be a case where the right and bottom edges of
    the original are took in about 2 mm even though the [Margin-plus] is set to
    ON. This case may be prevented with the procedures below.

     1. Open the [Print] dialog box, open the [Properties] of the printer, 
        and set the function of the [Margin-plus] to "ON". And then close
        the setting screen for RISO Printer driver.

     2. Close the [Print] dialog box. 

     3. Re-open the [Print] dialog box and perform printing. 

(6) In Adobe In Design(R), when printing is performed with combination of
    the original with the short side at the top, longer side at the top
    printing, paper with the shorter side at the top and with being set to
    [Multi-up (Plural)], the order of imposition differs from the one set
    with the [Properties] in the printer driver because the combination
    is processed as the original with the shorter side at the top, shorter side
    at the top printing, paper with the shorter side at the top.

(7) Displayed patterns or texture are not identical with those on printed
    matters in some cases. 

    For details, refer to the Microsoft web site.

(8) Under Microsoft Visio 2007 environment, an irregular size document (data)
    is treated as an A4-sized document. Such a case may be prevented with
    the procedures below.

     1. Register irregular paper sizes as the standards on "Custom paper entry"
        of the printer driver.

     2. Open [Print Setup] in [File]-[Page Setup], and change the paper size of
        printer to the same size of the original document.
        If the original document is multiple pages, change the sizes of
        all pages.

     3. Open the [Properties] dialog box on the [Print] dialog box and select
        the registered irregular size at the "Original size", then click "OK" 
        to close the dialog box.

     4. Close the [Print] dialog box.

     5. Reopen the [Print] dialog box and execute the print. 
        Do not open the [Properties] here. If you opened it,
        repeat the procedure from 2.

(9) Under Microsoft PowerPoint(R) 2007 environment, if you check
    [High quality], a part of illustrations are treated as photo image. 
    Therefore, the print result may be not same as you desired.

(10) When the data including the translucent or transparent objects is
     continuously printed without closing the application, you cannot obtain
     the constant print results. 
     If you print one and the same data continuously more than once, 
     close the application after each print.

(11) Under Microsoft Excel 2010 environment, 
     some parts of object (text, line, and photo) may not be processed
     properly and may yield poor results. (i.e. some parts of line object
     are processed as photo.) 
     In this case, it is recommended to create a PDF file from the original
     to print.

(12) This product is designed for "Desktop Style", and does not work on
     "WinRT Style".
