3. Uninstallation
=================

(1) Delete the printer icon you installed in the [Printers] dialog from the 
    [Control Panel].


4. General Comments
===================

(1) Some applications provide printing options pertaining to the number
    of copies and collating copies.  Always select the printing options
    in the application unless the instructions specify otherwise.
    Use the printer driver dialogs to select advanced options such as
    duplex (2-sided) printing, or options that are not available in the
    application.


(2) Always close the printer driver dialogs and/or the application Print
    dialog before you make any changes to the default settings of the
    printer driver via the Control Panel.


(3) Not all graphics and images can be printed using the "HP-GL/2" graphics
    setting. If you use the "HP-GL/2" setting and your graphic images do
    not print the same way they appear on your screen, select the "Raster"
    graphics setting and reprint your graphic.


(4) If you expect the printed texts to be "what you see is what you get",
    deselect the "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option.


(5) Select and deselect the "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option in driver
    will affect the layout of your print job.
    Use of Printer's TrueType Fonts will result in smaller size in texts,
    tables and graphic images printed.
    Do not select "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option if you are expecting
    images from the application are printed in their actual sizes.


(6) The driver's Overlay function is enabled for users who are assigned with
    the Administrators / Power Users right.


5. Limitations
==============

(1) The printed output quality of some pattern-on-colour shaded graphic
    images may not be well handled. You may choose a different graphic
    colour/pattern to resemble the desired printout.


(2)  Colour texts are always printed in Black in most applications when Raster
     mode is selected.
     
     Workaround: Select "HP-GL/2" mode to print the job.


(3)  Some applications draw graphic images on the page before the text is
     drawn in "Raster" mode. As a result, the graphics may be covered by
     the opaque background of the text and hence, these covered images may
     not be printed physically.
 
     Applications that were tested to have this problem are:
       Microsoft WordPad
       Microsoft Excel 97

     Workaround: Select "HP-GL/2" mode to print the job.


(4)  Outline texts must be printed using downloaded fonts.
     "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option must be unchecked to print texts as
     outline because device (PCL) fonts do not support Outline attribute.


(5)  The texts in the Data Label of Microsoft Excel 97 may have their font
     background each font printed as white in Raster mode. 

     Workaround: Select "HP-GL/2" mode to print the job.


(6)  The colour lines in the chart of Microsoft Excel 97 may be printed as
     black in Raster mode. 

     Workaround: Select "HP-GL/2" mode to print the job.

 
6. Known Problems
=================

(1) If you install Novell Netware Client on Windows(R) 2000, this driver
    may not work properly.
