    Properties button.


Accessing Help Information
==========================
From the Properties dialog box, you can click the Help button to
display the information about the Canon PCL5c or PCL5e printer driver.
You can also click the ? button in the upper right corner of dialog boxes and
then click a specific item in a dialog box for help with that item.


Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
======================================
1. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the
   PCL5e printer driver, you should select the alternate Graphics Mode
   (HP-GL/2 or Raster) to the one you are using currently in the Graphics
   sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the
   Quality sheet.

2. Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs,
   you should disable the Use Printer Fonts check box in the Detailed Settings
   for Objective dialog box to ensure that all fonts are downloaded with the
   document, rather than using only those fonts that reside in the printer. The
   Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the
   Details button in the Quality sheet.
   If the problem persists, select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics
   sheet, and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc.
   sheet.

3. Rotated text will not be printed correctly with some applications when
   TrueType Mode is set to Download as TrueType or Download as Bit
   Image in the Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box. The Detailed
   Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the Details
   button in the Quality sheet. To avoid this problem, select Raster for
   Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print Text as
   Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet.

4. When Overlay Printing, use the overlay form whose size is the same as the
   paper size of the document you are going to print.

5. In some applications, the printed output may not be correct when using the
   scaling feature. In this case, select Raster for Graphics Mode in the
   Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details
   button in the Quality sheet.

6. A document which contains different paper sizes across the pages may not be
   cross-sorted (output copies turned at a 90 degrees for each copy) correctly.
   Because the printer does not support cross-sorting of paper sizes other
   than B5, A4 and Letter, the pages of unsupported paper size documents
   will not be cross-sorted.

7. When creating a custom paper size in the Print Server Properties dialog box,
   specify the margins as 0.63cm/0.25in or more.

8. Print jobs containing fill patterns, especially in Corel Draw, have
   been observed to output slowly when printing in HP-GL/2 mode due to the
   large size of the file.  To avoid this situation, it is recommended that you
   select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is
   displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet.

9. When creating a overlay form file in one machine operating Windows
   NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 and Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition, you cannot
   specify another machine operating Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 and
   Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition in the network as the place to save the new
   form file. 

10.When you store a landscape document in the Mail Box of the printer, the
   staple position displayed on the printer control panel differs from the
   setting of the printer driver. 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.

11.For Windows XP/2003 x64 Edition, 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.

12.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.

13.If you select Rotate Print Data 180 Degrees in the Finishing Details dialog
   box when any Finishing option is selected, the document may output in an
   unexpected style.

14.When you use Adobe Illustrator 9.0 or later and do not select the Bitmap
   Printing option, it may take a long time to finish printing, or thin lines
   or characters may be blurred. If you experience such problem, select the
   Bitmap Printing option.

15.When you share the printer on the print server and specify a shared printer
   name in 13 or more characters, neither automatic printer configuration nor
   the Job Accounting feature are available on the client PCs.

16.For FAX-L2000 when printing several copies of a document consisting of
   mixed paper sizes with the collate option, do either one of the followings:
   -Use the collate option provided by the application.
   -Select Enabled for Spooling at Host in the Device Settings sheet before
    printing.

17.If it takes long time to print a document from CorelDraw, the following
   settings may shorten the printing time.

   1) From the Tools menu, select Options.
   2) In the Options dialog box, select Global->Printing->Driver Compatibility
      from the tree view in the left side of the dialog box.
   3) In the Driver Compatibility sheet, select Canon PCL printer driver from
      the Printer drop-down list, and then select the following check boxes.
      -Use software clipping for fills,
      -Output bitmaps in 64k chunks, and
      -Send beziers and paths to driver
    4) Click the OK button to close the dialog box.

18.For iR105, 105PLUS, 7200, 8070, 8500, 85PLUS, and 9070 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.

19.Black-and-white pages may be counted as color pages, depending on data, 
   application, or driver settings when you select Auto Detect or Color for
   Color Mode in the Quality sheet. If you want to print a document as a
   black-and-white job, select Black and White for Color Mode.
