N o t e s
==========

[01] This driver requires the printer to be in LJET mode !

[02] Due to the limitations of the Windows Unidriver, some features
     of the devices cannot be supported.

[03] If you have problems with complex pages not being printed
     properly, try increasing the "pageram" setting on the printer's
     front panel.

[04] When "TrueType Fonts as Bitmap Soft Fonts" is selected, the
     printer may give an error message "Base Line Out Of Range".
     This can be suppressed by setting "report=none" on the printer
     front panel.


Driver Limitations & Workarounds
---------------------------------

[01] User-defined paper sizes are not implemented in this version.
     Workaround: Use the application's "User-Defined" paper size, 
       if possible.

[02] Print-to-edge (clip off) is not supported in this version.
     Workaround: Set "clip=NO" on the printer's front panel, and 
       design a user-defined paper size.

[03] Line spacing (and, therefore, page breaks) can be different in
       300 versus 400 dpi. 
     Workaround: After changing the resolution, check the page breaks 
       again.

[04] The MV715e at 400dpi can have problems printing very thin lines
       and gray-scale brushes, when dithering is not set to "Coarse". 
       This is due to an engine problem and cannot be fixed.
     Workaround: Use "Coarse" dithering.

[05] The Universal Feeder of the RICOH LP1200 works only for A4 and
       Letter paper sizes.
     Workaround: Other paper sizes may be supported in a future
       version.

[06] The fax option of the RICOH LP1200 is not supported and will 
       not be supported.
     Workaround: None.
