# Instructions for Use (Printer Driver)

This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions. Keep the following points in mind when using the printer driver.

## Restrictions on the Printer Driver

- With some applications, the Copies setting in the Page Setup tab of the printer driver may not be enabled.
  In this case, use the copies setting in the Print dialog box of the application software.

- If the selected Language in the About dialog box does not match the operating system interface language, the driver screen may not be displayed properly.

- Do not change the Advanced tab items of the printer properties. If you change any of the items, you will not be able to use the following functions correctly.
  Also, if Print to file is selected in the Print dialog box of the application software and with applications that prohibit EMF spooling, such as Adobe Photoshop LE and MS Photo Editor, the following functions will not operate.

  - Preview before printing on the Main tab

  - Prevent loss of print data in the Print Options dialog box

  - Page Layout Printing, Poster Printing, Booklet Printing, Duplex Printing, Specify Margin..., Print from Last Page, Collate, and Stamp/Background... on the Page Setup tab

- Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the printing resolution, text and lines in the preview display may appear different from the actual print result.

- With some applications, the printing is divided into multiple print jobs.
  To cancel printing, delete all divided print jobs.

- If image data is not printed correctly, display the Print Options dialog box from the Page Setup tab and change the setting of Disable ICM required from the application software. This may solve the problem.

- Software windows may not appear correctly on Windows Vista when fonts are set to Larger scale. If you want to display the windows with Larger scale fonts, set the desktop theme to Windows Classic as follows:

  1. Select Control Panel from the Start menu.

  2. Select Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Theme.
     The Theme Settings dialog box opens.

  3. At the Theme Settings dialog box, click the Themes tab, and select Windows Classic from Theme.

  4. Click OK.
     Desktop changes to Windows Classic display.

## Points to Note with Applications

- There are following restrictions in Microsoft Word (Microsoft Corporation).

  - If Microsoft Word has the same printing functions as the printer driver, use Word to specify them.

  - When selecting Scaled Printing, Fit-to-Page Printing, or Page Layout Printing from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab, the selected printing function may not be effective, depending on the version of Word.
    If this happens, follow the procedure below.

    1. Open Word's Print dialog box.

    2. Open the printer driver setup window, specify Page Layout on the Page Setup tab, and click OK.

    3. Without starting printing, close the Print dialog box.

    4. Open Word's Print dialog box again.

    5. Open the printer driver setup window again and click OK.

    6. Start printing.

- Illustrator/Adobe Systems Inc.
  If Bitmap Printing takes effect, printing may take time or some data may not be printed. Print after clearing the Bitmap Printing check box in the Print dialog box.
