    <Install, Uninstall>
    Note the following points when uninstalling software under Windows
    Vista/7/8/8.1.

     - StarMicronics folder
         In some cases the following folders do not delete after the driver
         is uninstalled:

       updates on the computer at the same time as Setup is running.
       To remedy this issue, wait for Windows Updates to finish,
       restart the computer, and then run setup.

     - Install after uninstallation

         then make new connection.

       error in the print job status reading "Error - Printing-"
       when sending a large amount of data.  This message can be ignored as
       there actually is no real error.
       The print job will be processed and executed normally.

       installed using the USB Printer Class Driver,
       it is necessary to reboot the PC.
   
     - (OS: Windows 8 / 8.1, Mode: USB Printer Class)
        When install driver by plug & play, printer status will not display on printer queue.
        Once data is printed or printer property sheet is opened, then printer status will appear.

       ensure the printer power is on.
