4. Points To Remember when Printing
The following limitations apply when printing with this product. Keep
these points in mind before printing anything.
* If you select BJ printer or BJ printer HQ in the [Print] dialog box,
the printer driver will not print correctly if a photo BJ cartridge
is used.
* If you select BJ printer or BJ printer HQ in the [Print] dialog box,
be sure to print on plain paper. If you use anything other than plain
paper, the print quality may be poor.
* If you select BJ Printer Photo in the [Print] dialog box, a photo BJ
cartridge must be installed in the printer. If you don't use a photo
BJ cartridge, printing will not be done correctly.
* If you select BJ Printer Photo in the [Print] dialog box, be sure to
print on HR-101S High Resolution Paper. If you use anything other
than this paper, the print quality may be poor.
* It may not be possible to cancel a print job by clicking the Cancel
button on the handheld PC's display when the printer carries out form
cutting during printing. Load a form in the printer, and cancel the
printer error by pressing the reset button on the printer.
* If the ink cartridge is changed during printing, the printer may
continue without actually printing anything. If this happens, turn
the printer off and then back on, and print again.
* When handwritten input data is printed as it is, dots may sometimes
be missed. If this happens, check the following:
- Make sure a monochrome cartridge is installed in the printer if you
have chosen monochrome printing.
- Make sure a color cartridge is installed in the printer if you have
chosen color printing.
* Characters may sometimes be partially printed if the monochrome
printing is selected when printing with a color cartridge. If this
happens, check the following:
- Make sure a monochrome cartridge is installed in the printer if you
have chosen monochrome printing.
* With certain applications, if draft printing has been checked and the
character size and formatting are changed by the application, the
resulting printout will be different from what you would normally get.
