< 4. Important Notes >

- This driver does not support [Test Print].


- When you are outputting cutting data from CutStudio, select the [High Resolution] option.
Use the following method to make the setting for the [High Resolution] option.

1. Quit all running programs.
2. In Windows, click [Start].
   Open [Control Panel]-[Printer] folder.
3. Right click the Roland CAMM-1 icon to choose it.
4. Click [Printing Preferences].
5. For [Options] tab, select [High Resolution] to activate the setting.


- This driver does not support output any bitmap (raster) data. It is impossible to output texts or border lines etc. from such applications that output bitmap data, for example word processing softwares.
We recommend to use drawing softwares.


- Specify the line width for cutting lines as follows.
It may not be possible to cut lines of the specified width.

* Program Settings 
  CorelDRAW X7/X6/X5/X4/X3		-- Hairline


- Shading information inside shapes is not output to the CAMM-1.
This driver does not support shading for shapes. Shading information is interpreted as bitmap data and ignored.


- Some objects with Fill shapes are cut twice.
Going to the [Options] tab and clearing the selection for [Cut Polygons] can avoid double cutting in some cases.
Set lines you want to cut once to no Fill (note that white is not no Fill) and make the setting for only Contour Line.


- When you will output TrueType or OpenType fonts, you should generate 'outlines' of texts to convert them into vector data. Please refer to the manual of your application software for this function. If your software does not have the function to generate outline, it is impossible to output TrueType or OpenType fonts.


- Be sure to disable Rotate function (select RO-0) in your CAMM-1 machine.
To switch Rotate on and off, make the setting using the driver.


- Be sure to set driver's paper size before cutting with an accessory sheet.


##### Important Notes When Performing Output from CorelDRAW X7/X6/X5/X4/X3 #####

- Set a hairline width for the cutting line.
Cutting will not be performed if the line width is something other than hairline.

- At the [Layout]-[Page Setup] screen, [Set From Printer] (or [Get Page Size From Printer]) is updated with driver-specified cutting-range lengths of up to 3,276.7 mm.
