| * | With PCL printer driver, the drivers of different versions can't be used together. |
| * | If "Print Settings" screen doesn't look normal after installation, delete the driver with the procedure of above (3) and reinstall the driver. |
| * | Do not extract CD-ROM before the installation is finished. Or else, system error might occur. |
| * | During the driver installation, Windows may suggest to keep the newer module already installed in Windows. Please select "Yes" to use the newer module. |
| * | The CD-ROM installer causes the Spooler service to temporarily stop. We do not recommend using the CD-ROM installer on a member server of a Microsoft cluster environment because other services that rely on the Spooler might also stop causing a failover to occur. Instead, the Add Printer Wizard should be used. If this is done, the Spooler service will not stop. |
| * | The settings of overwritten PCL5 drivers will not be inherited. |
| * | An upgrade can only be performed between drivers of the same model and type of PCL (PCL5e, PCL5c). |
| * | 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. |

| * | [Staple] 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. |

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. |
| * | Based on the way that Windows XP has implemented the SNMP Management API, it is possible that device Accessories will fail to update after the driver's Properties are opened. If this occurs, please restart the OS or log off and back on again. Doing so should resolve the problem. |

| * | Microsoft * Microsoft Office XP * - If you are using Office XP, be sure to apply Service Pack 1 or later to avoid printing problems. * MS-Project * - When using with MS-Project, the stripe pattern interval may not print as it appears on your computer screen. If this happens, change the "Graphics Mode". - To print multiple copies from MS-Project, set the number of copies setting in the application print dialog box to 1, and then specify the number of copies using "Copies" setting on the driver's "Setup" tab. - Some applications are known to combine multiple copies of a document into a single job. This results in: - Output copies are not shifted or rotated. - If the staple, fold or perfect binding function is used, all of the copies will be stapled, folded or binded together. Example of such applications: - Microsoft Office Project - Microsoft Office Visio * PowerPoint * - PowerPoint may print some graphics objects with the same color although they are in different colors on the computer screen. To solve this problem, change the object's color. * WordPad - When you change the printer properties from WordPad, changes will not be reflected in the print job immediately following the change. |
| * | Corel * CorelDRAW * - You can not enter the number of copies greater than 9 in the printer driver dialog opened from CorelDRAW 8, due to a problem in CorelDRAW 8. To print more than 9 copies, set the number of copies in the CorelDRAW 8's print dialog. - The printer driver dialog opened from CorelDRAW 8 may show unreadable characters, due to a problem in CorelDRAW 8. |
| * | Adobe * Acrobat * - If printed using Adobe Acrobat/Acrobat Reader, black and white PDF documents compressed by MMR are printed in full color with some image distortion/deterioration. This can be prevented by disabling the application's "Print As Image" function. - Adobe Reader might add an extra page of padding to the end of odd-paged duplex documents. This will be counted as a BW page. When application's copies is 1 and PCL5 driver's copies is 2 or more, the extra page is not added. - The driver's number of copies setting might not work correctly when printing from any of the following applications: - Adobe Reader - Adobe Acrobat - Adobe Illustrator - Adobe InDesign Workaround: Use the application's number of copies setting. * Frame Maker * - With Adobe Frame Maker, please use *.FM document to print when "Duplex/Booklet" or "Staple" function is selected. * Page Maker * - PageMaker may not print graphics if a document contains large amount of graphics. To print such documents, change the "Memory Usage" settings to "Font Priority" on the printer operation panel. - PageMaker shifts the image by about one inch with some paper sizes. To solve this problem, print using a different paper size. |
