(IV) Application notes and tips
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 1. Please make sure "Collate" OFF in the application print dialog before
    printing.

 2. When set new nonstandard paper sizes in "Printer Server Properties", 
    please follow the rules below.
      - Width  : Set short edge size of nonstandard paper you want to make.
      - Length : Set long edge size of nonstandard paper you want to make.
      
 3. Some fonts placed behind some objects may print even though it is 
    invisible on PC screen. To avoid this, set "Print Optimizations" OFF
    in "Advanced Options" setting.

 4. When printing on nonstandard papers with MS WORD 97/98/2000 or 2002,
    the image may be placed inappropriately.

 5. When printing with MS Office XP applications, some grouped objects may
    not be printed correctly. To avoid this, change the object setting
    to ungroup. 

 6. (Windows 2000 only)
    When printing MS Excel document, please make sure that "Collate" is OFF
    both in the application print dialog and in the printer driver property.
