Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions ====================================== 1. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the PCL5e printer driver, you should select the alternate Graphics Mode (HP-GL/2 or Raster) to the one you are using currently in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. 2. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the PCL6 printer driver, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. 3. Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs, you should disable the Use Printer Fonts check box in the Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box to ensure that all fonts are downloaded with the document, rather than using only those fonts that reside in the printer. The Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. If the problem persists, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet. 4. Rotated text will not be printed correctly with some applications when TrueType Mode is set to Download as TrueType or Download as Bit Image in the Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box. The Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. To avoid this problem, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet. 5. The error "PCL ERROR: Out of Memory" may occur for some documents because of insufficient memory for downloading the fonts. In this case, increase the printer memory to 64MB, or select the Raster option for the Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet. 6. When Overlay Printing, use the overlay form whose size is the same as the paper size of the document you are going to print. 7. In some applications, the printed output may not be correct when using the scaling feature. In this case, use the PCL5e printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. 8. A document which contains different paper sizes across the pages may not be cross-sorted (output copies turned at a 90 degrees for each copy) correctly. Because the printer does not support cross-sorting of paper sizes other than A5, B5, A4 and Letter, the pages of unsupported paper size documents will not be cross-sorted. 9. When creating a custom paper size in the Print Server Properties dialog box of Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP, specify the margins as 1/4 inch. 10.Print jobs containing fill patterns, especially in Corel Draw, have been observed to output slowly when printing with the PCL6 driver or PCL5e driver in HP-GL/2 mode due to the large size of the file. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that you use the PCL5e driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet. 11.When creating a overlay form file in one machine operating Windows NT4.0/2000/XP, you cannot specify another machine operating Windows NT4.0/ 2000/XP in the network as the place to save the new form file. 12.If "MEMORY OVERFLOW" error message is displayed on the printer control panel when printing a document with 1200 dpi, increase the printer memory. 13.If "MRT COMPRESSION" error message is displayed on the printer control panel when printing a document, increase the printer memory. 14.In order to get the device status automatically under the NetWare network environment, select the Frame Type you are using instead of the Auto setting by using the network settings in the Windows Control Panel. 15.Only GP300-405 System Version 2.0 (or later) is supported by the printer driver version 4.2 (or later) and fax driver version 1.2 (or later). 16.Specify a NetWare Server name or NDS tree name up to 15 characters. 17.If you want to use the Dynamic Configuration feature with a GP200-215 or a GP30-55 device, note the followings; 1)The Network Interface Board-E3e cannot operate with Dynamic Configuration mode when it is using NDS mode. Instead, you should use Bindery mode. 2)The Network Interface Board-E3e cannot operate with Dynamic Configuration mode when it is using the IP for the network. 3)In order use the Dynamic Configuration feature, the following five NetWare Client files should be installed onto the client computer. NWIPXSPX.DLL (dated 01-09-96) NWPSRV.DLL (dated 10-06-94) NWLOCALE.DLL (dated 09-20-94) NWNET.DLL (dated 10-18-94) NWCALLS.DLL (dated 12-06-94) 4)Dynamic Configuration feature is not available under Windows 2000/XP. 18.When using a GP200-215 or a GP30-55 device, if Different for First, Second, Others and Last is selected under Paper Selection, make sure the paper in all the drawers is loaded in the same direction with the leading edge to the printer. 19.For Windows 2000/XP when installing with Add Printer from the Printer Folder, the Cannot find Digital Signature message may appear. If this message appears, continue with the installation. The printer will install correctly. 20.For iR series except iR3250, when you store a landscape document in the Mail Box of the printer, the staple position displayed on the printer control panel differs from the setting of the printer driver.
