Important Release Notes
=======================
General Notes
(1) When upgrading the operating system from Windows 95/98/Me to Windows
NT4.0/2000/XP, delete NetSpot Resource Downloader before upgrading, and
then reinstall NetSpot Resource Downloader after upgrading.
Even when you are continuing to use the same version of NetSpot Resource
Downloader after upgrading the operating system, these procedures are
necessary.
(2) When you use NetSpot Resource Downloader with a device, you need to
configure settings on the TCP/IP network.
(3) For a device with Flash Memory, formatted Flash Memory is required.
(4) Downloading certain kinds of macros and fonts is not allowed, and may
cause a device error.
(5) For devices in which "Enable LPD" can be set, turn on
"Publish Print Queue".
(6) For devices in which printer operation information can be set,
select "Auto" in the Control Panel.
(7) For Canon LBP-2000, Canon imageRUNNER 2000, and Canon imageRUNNER
1600, the device may not print a font list correctly when executing
[Start Download] after selecting the device and clicking [Set Forced
Download] under [Settings]. To fix this problem, turn the device
OFF and then turn it ON again. If you still cannot fix this problem,
clear the hard disk of the device and execute [Start Download] as
above again.
(8) For Canon imageCLASS 4000, Canon LBP-2000, Canon imageRUNNER 2010F,
Canon imageRUNNER 2000, and Canon imageRUNNER 1600, to which both
flash memory and a hard disk can be mounted, you can select the
resource download destination even when there is nothing to download
to the device. Right-click the device name in the device pane, click
[Storage Location for the Resource File], and then select [Hard Disk]
or [Flash Memory]. (The default setting is [Hard Disk].)
(9) Please note that the Canon printer driver which supports
imageRUNNER 600-550-60, imageRUNNER 330-400 PS/PCL,
imageRUNNER 330-400 PCL, imageRUNNER 210 PS/PCL, imageRUNNER 210 PCL,
GP200-225 PS/PCL, and GP200-225 PCL is not compatible with NetSpot
Resource Downloader.
(10) When you download resources, verify that the device you selected has
no print jobs waiting to be printed. If it does, wait until all print
jobs have been completed.
(11) The NetSpot Resource Downloader Printer Driver Add-on Module must be
installed on the client PC in order to use downloaded macros.
Installing the NetSpot Resource Downloader Add-on Module enables the
printer driver on the client PC to obtain information from the Resource
Information File to make printouts using the Overlay function.
(12) When creating an "Overlay Form File", make sure the file name is
different from other file names, otherwise the printer driver cannot
obtain the required information from the Resource Information File via
the NetSpot Resource Downloader Add-on Module.
(13) Specify both a Title and Subtitle for macros (*.p5e, *.p5c) created
with a Canon printer driver. Downloading of macros that do not have
both a Title and Subtitle specified is not permitted. Enter missing
Titles and Subtitles in the [Macro Details] window of Resource
Downloader.
(14) To properly display installed resource files from the printer driver,
versions higher than the following should be installed on your computer.
