* Printing at 2-UP or 4-UP at the N-UP Printing setting or changing
the setting of Print Quality or Zoom[%] can change the line break
position. If this happens, adjust character size and margin and
check the layout through the print preview or page layout view by
application software before printing.
* The AJ-1800/AJ-1805/AJ-2000/AJ-2005 printer uses colour ink at the
Greyscale mode. When printing colour original at the Greyscale mode,
some colour can be printed deeply. If this happens, set the Print
Quality in the Advanced tab to Best or Draft and reprint.

the AJ-1800/AJ-1805/AJ-2000/AJ-2005 driver under the Windows XP.
