For Windows 2000/XP, the following occurs when outputting a print job to a file using PageComposer. - When specifying to output to a file in the Print dialog box of an application, it is printed to the printer. The output file is created, but its size is "0"bytes. - When FILE is set for the output port in the Properties dialog box, it is necessary to specify the output file 2 times. The first specified file is "0" bytes in size, and the correct data is output to the second specified file. 3. When printing Euro symbols, use TrueType fonts, or select Symbol when using printer fonts. 4. When using the collate function of the application and Saddle Stitch is specified for Booklet Printing, all paper will be sorted and saddle stitched. When using Saddle Stitch function for Booklet Printing, disable the collate function of the application. 5. To speed up printing when iR6000/5000 is connected via a network, Binary is recommended as the Data Protocol in the PS Options dialog box which is displayed from the Configuration sheet (Windows 95/98/Me) or Device Settings sheet (Windows NT4.0/2000/XP). 6. When Overlay Printing, use the overlay form whose size, orientation and Page Layout is the same as those of the document you are going to print. 7. When creating a custom paper size in the Print Server Properties dialog box of Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, specify the margins as 4 millimeters. 8.

Also, if you specify the staple position of a landscape document stored in the Mail Box from the printer control panel, the actual staple position of the output document may not correspond with the orientation specified. 12.For Windows 95/98, the following may occur if a file is output to PageComposer by selecting Edit and Preview for Output Destination when Glyph Index is checked in the Detailed Settings dialog box that is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. The text of the preview image in the Print Preview, Change Print Settings or Combine dialog boxes of PageComposer may display incorrectly. If this occurs, enlarge the preview image in the Print Preview dialog box to check the text. 13. For iR8500 and iR105 under Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, when using booklet printing with saddle stitch, the printed cover page loaded from Document Insertion Unit may be attached upside down. If this occurs, put the cover page in the Document Insertion Unit in the opposite direction. 14.If you select Print to file setting in the Print dialog box when printing a document from Microsoft Word 2002, specify Disabled for Spooling at Host in the Configuration sheet (Windows 95/98/Me) or Device Settings sheet (Windows 2000/XP) prior to printing. 15.When you select Paper Type for Select by in the Paper Source sheet, select Same Paper for All Pages for Paper Selection if you want to use Tab Paper to print a document.

In this case, specify the Watermark settings in advance in the Printer Properties dialog box that can be accessed from the Printers folder in the Control Panel. 17.When you select Auto or Disabled for Spooling at Host in the Configuration sheet (Windows 95/98/Me) or Device Settings sheet (Windows 2000/XP), the print out from Illustrator may not be correct. In this case, open the Font Settings dialog box from the Configuration sheet (Windows 95/98/Me) or Device Settings sheet (Windows 2000/XP),and then download the printer font you want to use, or open the Detailed Settings dialog box from the Quality sheet, and then select Always Send TrueType Fonts for Substitution. 18. When using Terminal Service for Windows NT4.0/2000, or sharing Windows XP by multiple users, it is not available to use the Job Accounting feature or set up the printer configuration automatically. 19. When printing from QuarkXPress, the document may not be printed and blank pages are output. In this case, select Disabled for Spooling at Host in the Configuration sheet (Windows 95/98/Me) or Device Settings sheet (Windows 2000/XP). 20. Some applications send the PostScript command to the printer directly when using the PostScript printer driver. For these applications, the following functions may not be available. - From the Page Setup sheet: Page Layout, Watermark, Manual Scaling - From the Paper Source sheet: Paper Selection - From the Quality sheet : Print as Negative Image, Print as Mirror Image * For Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, you can use the above functions when the Spooling at Host setting in the Configuration or Device Settings sheet is set to Enabled. 21. The printed output may not be correct when printing from applications that use the ROP command, which is not supported by PostScript language. For example, the printed results of grayscale printing for Micrografx Designer or Word Art for Microsoft Word are incorrect. For Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, selecting Disabled for Spooling at Host in the Configuration or Device Settings sheet may solve the problem. 22. When printing a document to which EPS objects are attached, the printed output may not be correct. For Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, selecting Disabled for Spooling at Host in the Configuration or Device Settings sheet may solve the problem. 23. For Window XP, it is necessary to use TCP/IP as a network protocol in order to set up the printer configuration automatically when using a Remote Desktop environment, or when Windows is shared by multiple users. 24. When inserting inserted sheets into the document, if you accidentally specify a drawer that contains tab paper as the paper source for the inserted sheets, the paper source automatically returns to the plain paper setting. 25. When you print the Configuration Page in order to specify the Function Version of the printer, the version name shown on the Configuration Page may not available in the Device Function Settings dialog box that is displayed by clicking the Function button in the Configuration sheet or Device Settings sheet.
