RELNOTES.TXT ============================================================ Product: RICOHNT4 Version: rel 3.30 Date: 24.Mar.1997 ============================================================ Release Notes ============= for: RICOHNT4 Driver v3.30 for Windows NT v4.0 This file contains some remarks on this driver version, including known bugs with possible workarounds, and unsupported features. ============================================================ Supported Devices & Platforms ============================= This printer driver supports the following Ricoh laser printers and multi-functional devices: - Ricoh MV715 (300 dpi) - Ricoh MV715e (300 & 400 dpi) - Ricoh MV715se (300 dpi) It runs under Windows NT v4.0 (Workstation and Server) on all intel-386 compatible platforms. It does NOT run under Windows NT 3.51 ! ============================================================ Notes ===== [01] This driver requires the printer to be in LJET mode ! [02] If you have problems with complex pages not being printed properly, try increasing the "pageram" setting on the printer's front panel. [03] When "TrueType as Graphics" 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's front panel. ============================================================ Driver Limitations & Workarounds ================================ [01] User-defined paper sizes are not implemented in this version. Workaround: None. [02] Print-to-edge (clip off) is not supported in this version. Workaround: None. [03] Line spacing (and, therefore, page breaks) can be different in 300 versus 400 dpi. Workaround: After changing resolution, check page breaks again. [04] The MV715e at 400dpi can have problems printing very thin vertical lines and gray-scale brushes. This is due to the limitation of the printer. Possible workarounds: - in "Printer Manager : Printer Properties : Setup... : Halftone...", set "Halftone Pattern" to "8x8 Enhanced". - use 300dpi - rotate the page - try to increase the thickness of the lines in your application [05] Printer internal fonts are not selectable if "Print text as graphics" is selected. This is a limitation of the Windows NT printing system. Workaround: Uncheck "Print text as graphics", or use TrueType fonts. ============================================================ Known Driver Bugs & Workarounds =============================== [02] Printing colored or grayscaled fonts prints black. Workaround: None. ============================================================Download Driver Pack
