Application Information: 

  (General)

1)	If the file to be printed contains lines,boxes, or overlapping 
	graphics,and the printout does not match the screen, set 
	"Print Optimization"to "disabled".  This may cause slower performance,
	but the printout will match the screen. The Print Optimization feature
	appears under the "Advanced" button within the driver.  

2)	With Custom Barcode Fonts, human readable will not print if point 
	size of 40 is selected.  Select another point size.


3)	If printouts do not match the screen, try selecting higher
	resolutions. Utilizing "BEST" resolution in general will
	produce highest quality printouts.

  (MS-Word)

1)	When utilizing custom barcode fonts, or resident fonts, the "Use 
	Printer Metrics to lay out document" feature must be selected.  
	This is found under Tools/Options/Compatibility within MS Word

2)	When utilizing the custom barcode font or resident fonts, after 
	entering the barcode data, highlight the character position 
	immediately following the barcode data, then select a non-barcode font 
	(such as Arial).  If this is not done, a barcode error will appear on 
	the printout in addition to the barcode.

3)	When utilizing MS-Word 2000, text within shaded boxes does not print 
	due to a problem within Word regarding how boxes with different x and y 
	resolutions are handled.


  (MS-Excel)

1)  	When utilizing the custom barcode font feature, all cells must be
	formatted as "text"

2)	When printing, be sure that the print area is selected appropriately,
	 otherwise extraneous data may be found and incorrectly printed

  (MS-PowerPoint)

1)	With PowerPoint 97, the size of the printed text may not match the 
	screen in STD, HIGH, and FAST resolutions.  Selecting "BEST" resolution 
	will result in correct printouts.  PowerPoint 2000 does not exhibit these
	problems.

  (Lotus 1-2-3)

1)	Custom barcode fonts cannot be used with this application at this time.

  (MS-WordPad)

1) 	Custom and Resident Barcode Fonts cannot be used with this application
	at this time.
