3. Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions --------------------------------------

Note the following limitations when using this software.

- In order to install the printer driver, you must log into the system as 
  an Administrator.

- Before installing this software, be sure to check the following. 
1. Close any application software running on your computer. 
2. If a document is being printed, either stop printing or wait for printing to end. 
3. Close all printer driver dialog boxes.

- If the software application supports print copies, you can set up with either 
  the application software or the printer driver.

- When setting scaling with an application, make sure the printer driver scaling 
  is set to 100%.

- Some applications feature a function for collating. Do not use this function 
  when Page Layout Printing is selected in Page Layout in the Layout sheet. 
  If you do, the layout may not be correct.

- When using scaling function, an error occurring from the difference 
  between the degree of scaling and resolution may cause lines and other 
  distortions to appear in the printout.

- When printing reduced scaling color image data, 1 dot wide lines and points 
  may not be printed.

- Some applications may not print lines with almost horizontal angles correctly.
  If this occurs, redraw lines horizontally.

- Immediately after installing the printer driver (including new editions), 
  some application software may not be able to recognize new functions. 
  Select Print in the File menu of all application software with a printer function, 
  and then select the name of the printer you're using, and click the Properties button. 
  When the Properties dialog box opens, click the OK button to close.

- When binder printing with the Microsoft Binder, click off the check box 
  for executing binder printing as one job. Each print job will be processed 
  as a separate print job.

- When a watermark is specified with too many letters, or with letters 
  in very large font sizes, the watermark may not print.

- Watermark text including F040 and up of external characters will not 
  be printed.

- For some applications, watermarks may print incorrectly for the first printing.

- If you change the printer name in the General sheet of the printer driver's 
  Properties dialog box, Profiles registered in the print driver become ineffective, 
  so store your customized settings in a file before changing the printer name. 
  After changing the printer name, load the stored file.

- High resolution printing requires a large amount of computer memory. 
  If there is very little computer memory available or you are using a large 
  amount of application software, the application software may not operate normally. 
  In this event, restart Windows and shut down any applications that are not 
  being used when restarting printing. 
  If printing still does not proceed normally, select a lower resolution in the 
  Print Quality setting in the Main sheet.

- With a local connection, if Enable bidirectional support in the Port sheet 
  of the printer driver's Properties dialog box has no check mark, 
  printer information and device information cannot be obtained normally.

- When using a printer connected with USB, do not use Standby mode. 
  You can set Standby mode in Power Options in Control Panel.

- With Microsoft Excel, when Collate has a check mark and you perform 
  multiple sheet printing or Entire workbook printing with different 
  printing settings for each sheet, if you perform Page Layout Printing, 
  the results may not be those intended.

- When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may time out during 
  printing and printing may not be possible. If this occurs, 
  open the Advanced sheet in the printer driver Properties dialog box and 
  tick the Start printing after last page is spooled checkbox in  Spool print 
  documents so program finishes printing faster.

- Thin line, gradation etc. printing may not be possible. If this occurs, 
  open the printer driver's Properties dialog box from Print in the application 
  software's File menu, and try printing following the steps below. 
1. Remove the check from Open Preview When Print Job Starts in the 
   Main sheet. 
2. Remove the check from Page Layout in the Layout sheet.

- When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may take time out 
  during printing, and printing may not be possible. If this occurs, extending 
  the Job Time Out set time with the printer's operation panel may enable printing.

- You may not be able to print data for large size media with 
  Adobe Illustrator and other software. If this occurs, try printing 
  after performing the following. 
     - Open the Main sheet and untick the Open Preview checkbox. 
     - Increase the amount of memory allotted to virtual memory. 
     - Place or remove a check from the ON/OFF check box in Bitmap Printing 
        in the Print dialog box when using Adobe Illustrator.

- When installing this software from the installer, if you fail to follow the screen 
  instruction to restart your computer, Microsoft Office may operate incorrectly. 
  If this occurs, restart your computer.

- To switch the units display between inches (US) and mm (Metric) 
  for the Media Size settings and other displays, in the menu for 
  the Regional Options in the OS control panel, select Input Locales.

- If one printer is used with both USB and network connection, please install 
  the Canon Status Monitor.

- For some applications, when using functions such as Scaling, 
  N Pages per Sheet, and Edging, output with graphics data may diverge 
  from the original.

- Color settings dialog box can be performed for each object. However, 
  with some software applications the print results may not be what you 
  expect after text and graphic data handling.

- When printing data that includes an extremely large image from a computer 
  with little available memory, it may take time to print, a portion of the image 
  may be missing, or it may otherwise not print properly. If this occurs, 
  try printing after performing the following. 
     - Increase the amount of memory allotted to your computer. 
     - Increase your OS's virtual memory.

- Do not change the Print Processor setting 
  in the Advanced sheet in the printer driver's Properties dialog box. 
  The following functions will not operate correctly if the setting is changed: 
     -The "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function

- The "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function cannot be used in the 
  following cases: 
     -When Pause Printing is selected after right-clicking the printer icon 
     during a print job

     -When FILE: is selected as the printer port on the Ports sheet of 
     the printer properties dialog
     -When Output to File is selected in the Print dialog box of 
     the application software during a print job

- If you install Point and Print, the "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function 
  cannot be used.

- To print AdobeRGB color space images using Digital Photo Professional 
  provided with our digital camera, use the imagePROGRAF Print Plug-in 
  in order to apply the imagePROGRAF color reproduction sufficiently over 
  a wide area. However, in some cases the colors may not come out 
  as you expect if you use imagePROGRAF Printer Driver 2009 to perform 
  sRGB color space printing.

- If you used Photoshop for printing, tone jump may occur in the gradation 
  of monochrome photographs.

- Stamps and page borders may not be printed correctly when the following 
  Print Quality settings are combined with large paper sizes:

- The installer does not support Unicode. The installer may not operate 
  correctly if Unicode is used for a printer's or shared printer's name. 
  If the installer does not operate correctly, try the following. 
     - Change the printer name. 
     - Install the printer driver from Add Printer.

- Images may not print centered in the middle if you have checked the box 
  for Center Image  in the print preview window and have performed printing 
  with Photoshop CS3. If you are unable to print, click the Page Setup button 
  in the Photoshop print preview window, and print after making print settings.

- Data created with Microsoft Word may not print properly when printing with 
  Enlarged/Reduced Printing. If it does not print properly, select 
  Enlarged/Reduced Printing from the Page Setup sheet for the printer driver, 
  and then close the Print dialog box without proceeding to print. Open the 
  printer driver settings window once more, close it with OK, and then 
  proceed to print.

- In “Canon imagePROGRAF Preview�, text, fine lines, etc. as displayed in 
  the view screen display may differ from print results. In this instance, 
  try opening the Special Settings dialog box in the Layout sheet and checking  
  Enable Preview Switching.
