============================================================
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.
