Using the Printer Driver with other Printer Drivers
------------------------------------------------------------------
If another Windows Printer System printer driver is already
installed on your computer, The TOSHIBA e-STUDIO120/150(USB) printer
driver may not operate correctly. To avoid this problem, change the
port setting of the previous printer driver from the parallel port
(usually "LPT1") to "FILE", and then install the
TOSHIBA e-STUDIO120/150(USB) printer driver.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hint
------------------------------------------------------------------
* When upgrading the printer driver, be sure to remove the old
version driver before installing the new version.
* If it is possible, try to use the latest versions of
software applications, which are compatible with the operating
system.
A document created on an old version of a software application
may not print correctly if printed from a newer version of the
software. In this case, try saving the document using the
new version, and then print it.
* A document may not print correctly if printed with another
driver including Desktop Document Manage Composer or Win FAX
set as the Default Printer.
In this case, change the Default Printer to
the TOSHIBA e-STUDIO120/150(USB) printer driver, restart the
application software, and then print it.
* Brightly colored characters or lines (yellow, light blue, etc.)
may not appear when printed. In this event, try the following:
(A) Text consisting only of characters/lines created with CAD
software:
Try selecting the "2 Gradation Print" checkbox in the
"Advanced" tab before printing.
(In this case, sections where photographs, colored
characters and lines overlap will all be printed in black.)
(B) Text that includes photographs, colored characters and
lines:
Try decreasing the "Brightness" setting in the "Image
adjustment" dialog box that appears when you select the
"Image adjustment" button in the "Advanced" tab.
(This will change the brightness of the overall printed
image.)
(C) Other cases
If you tried the above and still did not obtain the desired
printing result, change the color of the character or line,
or make it thicker using the application's control for font
or line
* In the test page that is printed when you select "Print test
page" in the printer driver properties, "Yes" appears by
"Color printing"; however, this has been set only to improve
the reproducibility of halftone printing. The unit is only
capable of black and white printing.
* When "N-Up printing" is set to "2-Up" or "4-Up", or when the
"Print quality" setting is changed, the position of line breaks
may change. In this event, adjust the character size and/or
margins, and use the "Print preview" or "Show page layout"
function in the software application to check the print layout
before printing.
* When printing in Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, the displayed
"number of pages" in the print queue may not be automatically
updated. You can press the F5 key to update the displayed
number.
* When the "Fit to page" function in the "Paper" tab is used,
enlargement or reduction is calculated based on the "Paper
size" in the "Paper" tab, not on the paper size in the
application. Therefore, when using this function, make sure
that the "Paper size" in the "Paper" tab is the same as the
paper size in the application.
* If "N-Up printing" or "Fit to page" do not print correctly,
try the following:
(A) Use the Zoom function in the Word 2000 to change the print
settings.
Example: Use the "Scale to Paper Size" print option in
the "Zoom" print control.
(for N-UP printing use "Pages Per Sheet" .)
(1) Select "Print" from the "File" menu in Word.
(2) Select a setting in the Zoom function in the
Print dialog box.
(3) Click the "OK" button.
===> Printing begins.
If the document is in "landscape" orientation, it may not
print correctly using method (A) above. If the document does
not print correctly, return the settings of 2 in (A) above to
the original settings, and try printing with method (B) below.
(B) After checking the format settings in the application,
correctly set the printing properties.
Example: "2-Up" printing in Microsoft Word.
(1) Select "Page setup" and check the orientation
of your document from the "File" menu in Word.
(2) Click the "OK" button.
(3) Select "Print..." from the "File" menu in Word.
(4) Click the "Properties" button.
(5) Select "2-Up" for the "N-Up printing" setting.
(6) Select the "Paper" tab.
(7) Set the "Paper size" to the size of your document.
(8) Click the "OK" button.
(9) Click the "OK" button.
===> Printing begins.
* Printing may not take place correctly when a font for vertical
writing (a font beginning with "@") is selected as a watermark
font. In this event, use a font for horizontal writing.
* The position, size, and color of a watermark shown in the
watermark preview (on the left side of the "Watermark" tab) in
the driver properties may differ from the actual printed result.
Use the preview only as a general guideline.
* If N-Up printing is selected in the "Main" tab when a watermark
has been selected, an image will appear (the paper image in the
upper left-hand corner of the "Main", "Paper", and "Advanced"
tabs) indicating that one watermark will be printed on the
paper. The image simply indicates that a watermark has been
selected; it does not indicate the printing result. A watermark
will actually be printed on each page of the document.
For example, when a multi-page document is printed using 2-Up
printing, two watermarks will be printed on each sheet of paper.
* When using a custom paper size, use the bypass tray.
* This driver includes a function that automatically reduces
documents formatted in A3 or B4 size to A4 (letter) size before
printing.
If reduction does not take place correctly when printing A3,
B4, ledger, or 8K documents from an application, try the
following:
(A) Select the correct settings in the printer properties of the
application.
For example, printing an A3-formatted document from
Microsoft Word:
(1) Select "Page setup..." from the "File" menu in Word.
(2) Click the "OK" button.
If a message appears informing you that the margin
settings are not appropriate, click the "Ignore" button.
(3) Select "Print..." from the "File" menu of Word.
(4) Click the "Properties" button.
(5) Select the "Paper" tab.
(6) Set the "Paper size" to the size of the document:
"A3 (Fit to page)".
(7) Click the "OK" button.
(8) Click the "OK" button.
===> Printing begins.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Limitations in specific software applications
------------------------------------------------------------------
* When editing multiple documents in MS-Word 2000 or 2002,
opening the driver properties and changing the print settings
for one document may result in changes in the print settings
for the other documents. In this case, reset the print
settings before printing each document.
* If a document is printed using a large font in MS-Word and
other applications, the application may be shut down by Windows.
Fonts larger than 300 points can be set in MS-Word; however, do
not use a font larger than approximately 300 points for
printing.
When using a large font in a document, we recommend that you
frequently save the document so edits are not lost.
* Colored characters in an Excel document may print in black.
If you wish to print characters in grayscale, select "Photo"
for "Print quality" in the "Advanced" tab of the driver
properties.
* Some English fonts may not print correctly from WordPad. In
this case, use a different word processor application
(MS-Word, etc.)
* In WordPad, printing may not take place correctly if you
specify a page range starting from the second page. In this
event, select "All" for the pages to be printed.
* When using Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later, a landscape-oriented
document may be printed in the opposite orientation of other
applications. In this event, deselect the "Auto-rotate and
center pages" checkbox in the Print dialog box before printing.
The above limitations were those that had been verified as of the
preparation of this document.
