#### [2] Limitation/Notes in using PCL printer driver

The settings which are introduced below are depending on the printer or the printer driver you use.

[In General]
* | To avoid problems in general, make sure that there is plenty of free disk space.
* | With some applications (e.g. CorelDRAW, Visio), complicated images may take a long time to print when the "Graphic Mode" is "Vector". For faster printing, choose "Raster"(Graphics Mode) and/or "Print as graphics"(TrueType Mode) on the "Print Quality" tab.
* | If the printer driver language differs from that of the Operating System, characters may not be printed properly or the characters on the printer driver may not be displayed properly.

[OS/Windows Related Issues]
* | Jobs should not be submitted to the queue while the Windows Print Spooler is not running.
* | In some cases, Separator pages might result in anomalies.
* | Please do not change the "Driver" setting on the "General" or "Advanced" tab.

[With Driver Settings]
* | [Copies] in [Setup] Tab: When "Copies" is selected on the driver's "Setup" tab, the value may not be reflected in the application print dialog box. Be sure to set the number of copies only in the driver, not in the application.
* | [Duplex] in [Setup] Tab: Documents may not be stapled at the slant angle, even when you select "Top Left Slant" or "Top Right Slant". In such a case, the document will be stapled parallel to an edge of the paper.
* | [Custom Paper Size] in [Paper] Tab: The measurement unit in the Custom Paper Size dialog is reset to "cm" when the driver dialog is reopened, even if the custom paper size was previously specified in "inch". The paper size specification is retained regardless of the unit.
* | [Watermark] Tab: The watermark is not printed on the first page when both "On first page only" and "Booklet" are selected. If the "Graphics Mode" is set to "Raster" or if the "TrueType Mode" is set to "Download as bit image", the watermark may not print correctly. Change the "Graphics Mode" to "Vector".
* | [Booklet/Duplex] in [Setup] Tab: Printing a large document in booklet produce a large temporary file. If you encounter an error when printing a large document in booklet, try again after increasing the free area in drive C:.
* | [Post Processing] in [Advanced] Tab: If the "Post Processing" is set to "OFF", the watermark as "Transparency" may not print correctly. In order to avoid this problem, please change the "Post Processing" to "ON".
* | [Edge to Edge Print] and [Non Reduction Booklet] in [Setup] Tab: The use of "Edge to Edge Print" with "Non Reduction Booklet" might result in anomalies.
* | [Covers] in [Paper] Tab: Use of a different Paper Source for the cover setting might result in a paper mismatch error. This occurs if the cover is of a different paper size than the rest of the document. This only happens if the cover is not blank and if the source tray for the rest of the document is not "Auto Tray Select". As a workaround, change the print settings so that any one of the above conditions are not met. Note: "cover" = Front Cover, Back Cover or Chaptering Pages

[Graphics/Images]
* | When graphics images or text printed as graphics images are not printed as they appear on your computer screen, change the "Graphics Mode" on the "Print Quality" tab.
* | Selecting the Spool Type as EMF may cause some applications not to print well in "Vector" mode. If this happens, return the Spool Type setting to RAW.

[Fonts/Texts]
* | With Adobe Type Manager(ATM), some characters may not print correctly. To avoid this problem, change the "Graphic Mode" to "Raster" or print the document with PCL 6 or PostScript driver.
* | With some applications, some characters may not print correctly. To solve this problem, change the "TrueType Mode" and/or the "Use Printer Fonts" on the "Print Quality" tab.
* | Documents that contain fonts that are not installed on your computer might not print correctly.
* | Some TrueType fonts such as Kidnap may not print correctly on Windows 2000. In order to avoid this problem, "TrueType Mode" to "Download as Bit Image" or "Print as Graphics" in the "Print Quality" tab.
* | The watermark as "Outline only" may not print if the watermark message contains Chinese characters. To avoid this problem, use the PCL 6 driver.
* | Additional lines may appear when the bold HANYI fonts larger than 36 points are printed.

* | To print watermark text in Chinese, choose a Chinese font.

[Connection/Port related Issues]
* | When printing complicated documents to a printer connected with a parallel interface, the printer time-out may cause the document to print incorrectly. If this happens, the Spool Setting to "Start printing after last page is spooled" and/or extend the IO timeout at the printer operation panel(max. 300 seconds).
* | When the printer is connected with a SMB port, "Update Now" in the Accessories tab doesn't work. Please manually configure the accessories.

[CMYK used for Black and White Documents]
* | Black and White documents might be printed in full color (CMYK). To ensure that the job prints using pure Black (K), please change the color mode to "Black and White" or "Monochrome".
* | When selecting "Color" from "Color/ Black and White" setting in the "Setup" Tab, black and white document may be printed as a color job, depending on application or data. If you want to print a document in black and white, select "Black and White" in "Color/ Black and White" setting.
