Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions ------------------------------------- Note the following limitations when using this software. - The file formats that can be printed are as follows. V1.7 compliant PDF Note: Encryption, JBIG2, font substitution, overprinting, and some transparency processing functions are not supported. Rev. 6 compliant TIFF Note: Supports the following - Color mode: RGB/CMYK/Grayscale/Bilevel - Color depth: 24-bit/8-bit/1-bit - Compression method: Uncompressed/CCITT/Packbits/LZW/ZIP/JPEG - Multipage - ICC profiles - Number of pixels: 10800 pixels or less horizontally and vertically JFIF 1.02 compliant JPEG Note: Supports the following - Color mode: RGB/Grayscale - Color depth: 24-bit/8-bit - ICC profiles - Number of pixels: 10800 pixels or less horizontally and vertically HP-GL/2 Note: Only the Layout preview is possible for previewing HP-GL/2 format files in the following cases (Content preview cannot be used) - The printer driver version is 4.52 or later - Communication with the printer is possible during file registration - The page sizes that can be printed are the same as the page sizes that can be used in the printer driver. Note: The maximum length is 3.2 m. Note: The page size for raster images (tiff or jpeg) is calculated as follows. [Page size (inch)] = [Pixel size (pixel)] / [Resolution (dpi)] Calculation is performed using 300 dpi as the resolution for raster images that have no resolution information. - If the page size does not fit within the size that can be used with the printer driver and the file cannot be printed for a raster image (tiff or jpeg), you may be able to print by changing the resolution such as by using an image editing tool. - Printing cannot be performed via a print server. - When printing, since files are printed with the top left of the paper as the origin, for data where the image fills the entire page size, the top edge and left edge of the image which are outside the printable area of the printer will not be printed. - The printing results obtained by using this software might not be the same as the printing results obtained by using other products. - If the data size or number of files you are registering is too large, you might not be able to print or upload, or it may take an extremely long time depending on your system. The following is recommended for the size, etc. of files to register. - File size: 2 GB per file or less - Number of files to register: 100 files or less - Number of pages: 100 pages per file or less It is recommended that the total number of pages printed at one time is 100 pages or less. - If the data size or number of files you are uploading or downloading is too large, uploading or downloading may fail or it may take an extremely long time depending on your system. The following is recommended for the size, etc. of files to use for uploading or downloading at one time. - Total file size: 500 MB or less - Total number of files: 100 files or less - If the folder name or file name is too long, or the folder hierarchy is too deep, you might not be able to display the folder name or file name, or upload or download the file. - Canon shall bear absolutely no responsibility for any damages or liability arising as a result of the cloud service. - If the same cloud storage is simultaneously accessed from multiple pieces of software including this software, the processing of the other software may be given priority. As a result, the processing results might not be as intended. (For example, this includes cases such as when folders are deleted or files are uploaded simultaneously by multiple pieces of software.) - The cloud service might not be available depending on the country or region where you are using this software. - To use the cloud service, you first have to create an account for the cloud service. Check that you can log into the cloud service using a web browser with the account you created. 5. Cautions When Using the AutoCAD plug-in ------------------------------------- - Do not delete the DWG to PDF driver that is included with AutoCAD. If you delete or rename it, you will not be able to register AutoCAD data with DPS. - If the size of a document created in AutoCAD is not supported by the DWG to PDF driver, the document is changed to a size supported by the DWG to PDF driver before registering with DPS. - You might not be able to correctly create a PDF file from data created in AutoCAD in some cases due to limitations in the DWG to PDF driver.Download Driver Pack
