4. Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions -------------------------------------

Note the following limitations when using this software.

<imagePROGRAF Free Layout>

- In some cases a print job with a large amount of data cannot be printed.
  In such a case, experiment with the following methods to perform the print 
  job.
     - Add expanded memory to your PC, or enlarge the virtual memory.
     - Install Service Pack 4 if you are using Windows 2000.
     - If you are using Adobe Illustrator, switch the on/off setting of 
       the Bitmap print item in the print dialog box.
     - Lower the resolution setting then perform the print again.

- A print job may occasionally fail during continuous printing. If this occurs 
  delete the registered Custom Setting.

- Sometimes the print preview display may different from the actual print 
  position. 
  If this occurs, make a slight adjustment in the position of the object.

- The hues of the print preview and the image displayed in the software 
  application (Adobe Photoshop, etc.) may be slightly different.

- The appearance of text and fine lines in the print preview may be different 
  from what you see in the print result.

- If the print job is cancelled, the printer may remain in standby mode. 
  In this case, click the cancel button and then try to print again after 
  the software application shuts down.

- Free Layout printing cannot be done during RAW spool printing with the 
  software application (VectorWorks, Adobe Photoshop LE, Microsoft Photo 
  Editor, etc.).

- The object may not print at the correct position if the size of the object 
  is enlarged. 
  In this case perform the print after positioning the object automatically.

- Sometimes a print job can be lost if imagePROGRAF Free Layout is shut down 
  during the print job.

- When Borderless Printing is selected, the view including the borders 
  displayed.

- Depending on the objects, drawing errors may be generated.
  If this happens, change the Fast Graphic Process setting in the Preferences 
  dialogue box.

<Color imageRUNNER Enlargement Copy>

- In some cases a print job with a large amount of data cannot be printed.
  In such a case, experiment with the following methods to perform the print 
  job.
     - When using the Sharpen function, specifying a lesser number of sheets 
       for printing out at one time with Enlargement Copy may correct the 
       problem.

- Sharpness is not applied for PDF files.

- Occasionally data other than data scanned with imageRUNNER 
  (including encrypted PDF data) cannot be printed properly.

- Occasionally the enlargement rate is not correct for images scanned from 
  non-standard paper sizes (smaller than A4) when using larger paper from 
  the Media Source. Media other than standard sizes are handled differently 
  by Media Source feed.

- If you perform continuous scanning of different paper sizes, the scanned 
  size and paper size may not match. Scan media of the same size if you are 
  going to do continuous scanning.

- Depending on the network settings on your PC, imageRUNNER might not be able 
  to access your hot folder. Activate the Windows file sharing setting.
