PROBLEMS DURING INSTALLATION
----------------------------
- Make sure that you are logged onto the computer/Network
  with an account who can make printer configuration changes (i.e.
  Administrator).
- Make sure that all other software applications are closed 
  before attempting to install the Panafax Printer Driver.
- Installation of Multiple Panafax Printer Drivers at the same
  time is not allowed.  Therefore, before attempting to
  reinstall the driver, make sure that you Remove the current
  installed Panafax Printer Driver from the Control Panel.
- Make sure to Close the Control Panel after each "ADD" or 
  "DELETE" execution of the driver, in order to avoid an error
  message or data corruption.


====================================================================
2. ABOUT THE PRINTER DRIVER
====================================================================

PRINT MANAGEMENT
----------------
- Since the PC does all the rasterize management, the
  printing speed is dependent upon the PC's capabilities.

FONTS
-----
- For best print results, use TrueType(R) fonts.

DITHERING AND INTENSITY CONTROL
-------------------------------
- When colored picture and dithering are overlapping, the text
  may be illegible or not print properly. If this occurs,
  adjust the Dithering and/or Intensity Control in the Options
  Menu of the Driver.

DITHERING
---------
- Dithering will reset to the default setting (Coarse) when the
  Resolution is changed. In this case, adjust the Dithering
  setting back to your specific needs.

WHEN "MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR" OCCURS
-------------------------------------
- If you encounter this message, close any other application or
  restart Windows then reprint. If this reoccurs, it is
  recommended that you increase the number of Virtual Memory in
  the Control Panel, or add additional Random Access Memory (RAM)
  to your PC.
- If you are not using the Print Manager, you may not be able to
  reprint after the "Memory Allocation Error" occurs.  In this
  case, restart Windows and retry printing. 

PRINT DRIVER'S ERROR MESSAGE
----------------------------
- The driver's error messages (i.e. "MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR") 
  sometimes may not be visible as it could be hiding behind
  another application's dialog box. In this case, switch to the
  application you are printing to display the error message.  

COLOR CHARACTERS
----------------
- Colored Characters (not black), may not print well depending
  on the size or type of character. 
  If this occurs, adjusting the Dithering and/or Intensity Control
  of the driver may improve the print quality.

ENLARGED AND REDUCED PRINT AREA OF THE DOCUMENT
-----------------------------------------------
- The Fax unit's printing area varies slightly from that of a
  document printer. The printed data is enlarged by approximately
  2% vertically and is reduced by approximately 1% horizontally.
  These are due to the resolution difference between a document 
  printer and a facsimile printer.

FAX MAY PRODUCE GARBLED OUTPUT AFTER A PRINT JOB IS DELETED
-----------------------------------------------------------
- When multiple print jobs are entered, the printer may reproduce 
  garbled output on jobs printed after a print job that was canceled.
  This is a known Windows NT 4.0 problem. 
  Delete all the other pending jobs and then turn the fax machine off
  and then back on to clear the machine's printer buffer.

CHANGING THE DRIVER'S DEFAULT SETTINGS
--------------------------------------
To change the Panafax Printer Driver default settings, please follow
the steps below:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
2. In the Printers folder, right-click on the Panafax Printer if you
   wish to change the settings and then click Document Defaults...
3. Select the item you wish to change and then make your desired
   changes accordingly.

CONFIRMING THE PRINT DRIVER VERSION
-----------------------------------
To confirm the version of the Panafax Printer Driver software, please
follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
2. In the Printers folder, right-click on the Panafax Printer you wish
   to check and then click Properties.
3. In the Panafax xxxx Properties folder, select the Device Setting
   tab and then select the Panafax xxxx Device Setting. Click on the
