Precautions When Using

Note the following precautions when using this software:

• Printable file formats are as follows:

  • V1.7-conforming PDF

    * However, password protection, JBIG2, font substitution, overprinting, and some functions of transparency are not supported.

  • Rev. 6-conforming TIFF

    Compatible with the following:

    • Color mode: RGB / CMYK / Grayscale / Binary

    • Color dispersion: 24-bit / 8-bit / 1-bit

    • Compression scheme: Uncompressed / CCITT / Packbits / LZW / ZIP / JPEG

    • Multi-page

    • Pixels: 10,800 pixels or less for both width and height

  • JFIF 1.02-conforming JPEG

    * Compatible with the following:

    • Color mode: RGB / Grayscale

    • Color dispersion: 24-bit / 8-bit

    • Pixels: 10,800 pixels or less for both width and height

  • HP-GL/2

    * Cannot print when a printer that does not support files in HP-GL/2 format is selected.

    * Files in HP-GL/2 format can be previewed in Layout preview under the following conditions (Content preview is not available):

    • Printer driver version is 4.52 or later.

    • Printer connection is enabled when adding files.

• Printable document size is the same as the document size that can be used with the printer driver.

  * However, maximum length is 3.2 m (126.0 inches).

  * Document sizes for raster images (tiff or jpeg) are calculated as follows:

  • [Page size (inch)] = [Pixel size (pixel)] / [Resolution (dpi)]

    Raster images with no resolution information will be calculated as 300 dpi resolution.

• For raster images (tiff or jpeg), if the document size does not fit within the size limit of the printer driver, you may be able to print by changing the resolution using image editing tools.

• You cannot print via a printer server.

• With data that contains images that reaches the document size limit, if you select Match Page Size in Paper Size for the main image, all four sides of the image that are outside of the printable range will not be printed.

• Printing results obtained by using this software may not match the printing results obtained from other products.

• If the number or data size of the files you are adding is too large, you may not be able to print or upload, or it may take a long time to complete depending on the environment. It may also take a long time to display thumbnails.

  The recommended file size for adding and other factors are as follows:

  • File size: 2 GB or less per file

  • Number of files: 100 files or less

  • Number of pages: 100 pages or less per file

  Furthermore, it is recommended to only print a total of 100 pages or less in one printing process.

• If the number or data size of the files you plan to upload or download is too large, uploading or downloading may fail, or it may take a long time to complete depending on the environment.

  The recommended file size for upload or download for each process and other factors are as follows:

  • Total file size: 500 MB or less

  • Total number of files: 100 files or less

• If the folder name, file name, or folder directory is too long, the folder name or file name may not display, or upload or download may fail.

• Canon bears no responsibility for any loss or damages caused by cloud services.

• If there is access from multiple software, including this software, for the same cloud storage, processing by the other software might be prioritized. Due to this, the processing results may not turn out as intended. (e.g. If folder deletion or file upload is executed simultaneously by multiple software.)

• Depending on what country or region you use this software in, you may not be able to use cloud services.

• If you want to use a cloud service, you must create an account for that cloud service beforehand.

  Confirm that you are able to log in to the cloud service beforehand with the account you created on a web browser.

Precautions When Using AutoCAD Plugins

• Do not delete the DWG to PDF driver included in AutoCAD. If you delete or rename it, you will not be able to add AutoCAD data to Direct Print & Share.

• If the document size of the file created with AutoCAD is not supported by the DWG to PDF driver, the size will be changed to a size compatible with DWG to PDF before being added to Direct Print & Share.

• Due to limitations of the DWG to PDF driver, PDF files may not be properly created from data created with AutoCAD.
