4. General Comments
===================
(1) It is recommended that you restart the Windows system after completion
of driver installation in order for the driver to work properly.
(2) It is also strongly recommended that you restart the Windows system
after completion of driver uninstallation.
This is to ensure a completely clean system especially if you are
to perform re-installation of driver.
(3) If you encounter problem in setting up the driver by SETUP.EXE, you may
use the Windows Add Printer Wizard to install the driver.
If you don't have installation files supporting Add Printer Wizard,
please contact our Support Centre.
(4) After installing the Windows(R) NT4.0/2000 Xerox Able Model-PR PCL5e
printer driver, you may also install an alternate Windows 95/98 printer
driver on the Windows(R) NT4.0/2000 system by running the SETUP.EXE
provided by the Windows(R) 95/98 Xerox Able Model-PR PCL5e printer driver.
This will allow users on the Windows 95/98 system to download it
automatically when they connect.
(5) 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.
(6) 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.
(7) 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.
(8) If you expect the printed texts to be "what you see is what you get",
deselect the "Use Printer's TrueType Fonts" option.
(9) 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.
(10) 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.
