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

  • Depending on the document type to be printed, the paper feed method specified in the printer driver may not operate correctly.
    If this happens, open the printer driver setup window from the Print dialog box of the application software, and check the setting in the Paper Source field on the Main tab.
  • 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 of the Maintenance tab does not match the operating system interface language, the printer driver setup window 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
    • Prevention of Print Data Loss in the Print Options dialog box on the Page Setup tab
    • Page Layout, Tiling/Poster, Booklet, Duplex Printing, Specify Margin..., Print from Last Page, Collate, and Stamp/Background... on the Page Setup tab
    • Print a pattern for color adjustment on the Color Adjustment tab in the Manual Color Adjustment dialog box
  • 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.
  • The card slot of the printer may become inaccessible. In such cases, restart the printer or turn it off and reconnect the USB cable.

Points to Note About Applications with Restrictions

  • There are following restrictions in Microsoft Word (Microsoft Corporation).
    • When Microsoft Word has the same printing functions as the printer driver, use Word to specify them.
    • When Fit-to-Page, Scaled, or Page Layout is used for Page Layout on the Page Setup tab of the printer driver, the document may not print normally in certain versions of Word.
    • When Page Size in Word is set to "XXX Enlarge/Reduce", the document may not print normally in certain versions of Word.
      If this happens, follow the procedure below.
      1. Open Word's Print dialog box.
      2. Open the printer driver setup window, and on the Page Setup tab, set Page Size to the same paper size that you specified in Word.
      3. Set the Page Layout that you want, and then click OK to close the window.
      4. Without starting printing, close the Print dialog box.
      5. Open Word's Print dialog box again.
      6. Open the printer driver setup window and click OK.
      7. Start printing.
  • If bitmap printing is enabled in Adobe Illustrator (Adobe Systems Incorporated), printing may take time or some data may not be printed. Print after unchecking the Bitmap Printing check box in the Print dialog box.
