Accessing Help Information
==========================
From the Properties dialog box, you can click the Help button to
display the information about the Canon PCL5c, PCL5e or PCL6 printer driver.


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
   (Vector or Raster) to the one you are using currently in the Advanced
   Settings dialog box. The Advanced Settings dialog box is displayed by
   clicking the Advanced Settings button in the Quality sheet.

2. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the
   PCL6 printer driver, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select
   Raster for Graphics Mode in the Advanced Settings dialog box. The Advanced
   Settings dialog box is displayed by clicking the Advanced Settings button in
   the Quality sheet.

3. Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs,
   you should disable the Use Printer Fonts setting in the Advanced Settings
   dialog box to ensure that all fonts are downloaded with the document, rather
   than using only those fonts that reside in the printer. The Advanced
   Settings dialog box is displayed by clicking the Advanced Settings button in
   the Quality sheet.
   If the problem persists, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select
   Raster for Graphics Mode, and then select On for the Print Text as Graphics
   in the Advanced Settings dialog box.

4. 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
   Advanced Settings dialog box. The Advanced Settings dialog box is displayed
   by clicking the Advanced Settings button in the Quality sheet.
   To avoid this problem, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select
   Raster for Graphics Mode, and then select On for the Print Text as Graphics
   in the Advanced Settings dialog box.

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

6. In some applications, the printed output may not be correct when using the
   scaling feature. In this case, use the PCL5e printer driver and select
   Raster for Graphics Mode in the Advanced Settings dialog box. The Advanced
   Settings dialog box is displayed by clicking the Advanced Settings button in
   the Quality sheet.

7. 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.

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

9. Print jobs containing fill patterns, especially in Corel Draw, have
   been observed to output slowly when printing with the PCL6 driver or PCL5e
   driver in Vector mode due to the large size of the file. To avoid this
   situation, it is recommended that you use the PCL5e driver and select Raster
   for Graphics Mode in the Advanced Settings dialog box. The Advanced Settings
   dialog box is displayed by clicking the Advanced Settings button in the
   Quality sheet.

10.When creating an overlay form file in one machine operating Windows 2000/
   Windows XP/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7,
   you cannot specify another machine operating Windows 2000/Windows XP/
   Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7 in the network
   as the place to save the new form file.

11.Specify a NetWare Server name or NDS tree name up to 15 characters.

12.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.

13.If you use a shared printer, in some cases resource information that is
   downloaded using NetSpot Resource Downloader may not be obtained from
   the client PC by clicking the Get Resource Information button in the Device
   Settings sheet. Note that NetSpot Resource Downloader does not support
   Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7.

14.When using NetSpot Resource Downloader to download form files
   (*.p5e, *.p5c) created in the Overlay sheet to the device, you must
   specify a title for the form file.
   If a title is not specified, form files downloaded using NetSpot Resource
   Downloader cannot be used for overlay printing. Note that NetSpot Resource
   Downloader does not support Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7.

15.In certain applications, thickness of a line can be set to a value smaller
   than 1pt but the actual thickness in the printout may be equivalent to that
   of an 1pt line.

16.For Windows XP/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008/Windows 7,
   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.

17.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.

18.If you select On for Rotate Print Data 180 Degrees in the Advanced Settings
   dialog box when any Finishing option is selected, the document may output in
   an unexpected style.

19.When you use Adobe Illustrator 8.0 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.

20.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 Department ID Management feature are available on the client PCs.

21.Under the following environments, NWADMIN may not be able to add resources
   to NDPS Broker correctly if you are using Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003
   driver.
    - Novell Netware Client for Windows 9x version 3.32 SP1
    - Novell Netware Client for Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 version 4.83 SP1
   If you experience difficulty, contact your Canon authorized dealer or Canon
   authorized service provider.

22.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.

23.For Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows Server 2003/Windows Vista/
   Windows Server 2008/Windows 7, when printing a document with a banner page
   attached from the server PC under the NetWare environment, two copies of the
   banner page may be output.

24.When a document is output at a resolution of 1200 dpi set from an
   application, jaggies in images may be more noticeable than when the
   document is printed at 600 dpi.

25.If you select Transparency or Label for Paper Type in the Paper Source
   sheet, a message indicating that you cannot print the document unless
   you change the Paper Type may appear. If this message appears, you may
   be able to print a document by deselecting the Offset check box in the
   Finishing sheet.

26.When using a custom paper size for printing with PCL5e/5c driver, the print
   data may not be output correctly if the length of the custom paper size is
   greater than 1168.6 mm.

27.There may be cases where the Custom Paper Type information registered in the
   printer is not acquired correctly when installing the printer driver.
   If so, reacquire the correct information by clicking on the Get Device
   Status button in the Device Settings sheet, or the Get Paper Details button
   in the Paper Type Settings dialog box, displayed by clicking the Settings button
   in the Paper Source sheet.

28.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.

29.If you print a document that has an odd number of pages as a two-sided
   document from an application, the application may automatically insert a
   blank page to bring the number of pages up to an even number. When this
   happens, the blank page inserted by the application is counted up in the
   same way as a printed page.

30.To register the custom paper size you want to use, access the Document
   Properties dialog box from the Printers folder with Administrator privileges,
   and then specify the paper size in the Custom Paper Size Settings dialog box
   which is displayed by clicking the Custom Paper Size button in the Page
   Setup sheet.

31.When you log on to an Administrator account that is different from the one
   used to install the software, you will not be able to access the driver
   properties with Administrator privileges. To access the driver properties,
   select [Run as Administrator].

32.If you are using a USB connection with the printer to print,
   and cancel a print job that is currently printing from your computer
   using the print spooler, the printer may not return to a ready state.
   In this state, you can print via USB, but not via a network.
   In order to be able to print from a network, cancel the print job from the
   control panel of the printer prior to printing.

33.For Windows Server 2008 installed with Server Core option, the following
   limitations exist on using the printer driver.

   - You cannot install the driver with the installer. Use the installation
     options of Windows.
   - Some print options are not available under local environment or Windows
     Remote Desktop environment.

34.If the driver version of the client computer is older than that of the
   print server, the driver settings of the server may not be applied to
   the client.

35.If you are using a printer (AutoCreatedPrinter) created with "Auto Created
   Client Printer" in Citrix XenDesktop, you may not be able to use the
   Department ID Management function or the Get Device Status function.

   If this is the case, use the Universal Printer Driver (UPD), or select a
   Standard TCP/IP Port with the IP address of the printer you are outputting
   to.

36.If you are using the Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix
   XenDesktop Universal Printer Driver (UPD), you may not be able to use the
   Department ID Management function, Get Device Status function, or Edit +
   Preview function, and print settings such as page layout, booklet printing,
   etc. may be invalid.

   If this is the case, with Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix
   XenDesktop in a disconnected state, deselect [Enable advanced printing
   features] in the [Advanced] sheet of the printer properties dialog box of
   the client printer, then connect Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or
   Citrix XenDesktop.

   * Depending on the environment you are using, you may not be able to
   perform the above operations. If this is the case, refer to the Citrix
   website.
