  When downloading and installing a network printer on Windows 
  2000/XP/Server 2003, you can install it as a user without 
  administrator rights.
  If the network printer is installed by a user without 
  administrator rights, however, some functions may be 
  unavailable due to the restriction of operating system 
  security.

  [Unavailable functions]

    ([Add/Remove Programs] for Windows 2000).

================================================================

6. Installation in a Multi-user Environment (Windows XP/Vista)

  When this printer is installed in Windows XP/Vista, do not 
  install it for a user switched by the "Fast User Switching" 
  function of Windows XP/Vista.
  When using the "Fast User Switching" function, be sure to log 
  on again before the installation.

7. Uninstalling the network printer which is connected to 
   another user

  Even if you execute Uninstaller, information about the network
  printer which is installed on another user's local computer 
  is not deleted but remains in its operating system as 
  particular information to the user.
  If another user has installed the printer on its local 
  computer via the network, make sure that the user deletes the 
  network printer icon from the printer folder before you 
  execute Uninstaller.

================================================================

8. Restriction on the Network Printer

  When a network printer is installed, even though you change

  If you want to set [Protected Mode] to [On], exit Internet 
  Explorer 7 once, and then run it again manually.

================================================================

11. Characters for the Printer Name (Windows Vista)

  When an "@" character is used in the name of the printer, the 
  printer will become unrecognizable by the operating system 
  because of an invalid printer name thus disabling printing, 
  operation and setup.

================================================================

12. Registering Custom Paper Sizes (Windows Vista)

  Be sure to log on as a user with administrator rights when 
  editing [Custom Paper Size] in the [Page Setup] sheet in the

  printout may be equivalent to that of a 1 pt line.

================================================================

15. Specifying the IP Address of the Printer (Windows Vista)

  If you specify the IP address that is being used by another 
  device for the printer, the printer may not function properly.

  address or remove the device from the network, and then

  following methods.
