Following is some additional information about the Minolta Color PageWorks/Pro
Windows PCL5C driver v1.13, including tips for using the driver with various 
applications, as well as known bugs, caveats, and workarounds.


Applications Notes
------------------

1. CorelDraw V5, V6, V7:

    Print time can often be reduced by 50% or more, with no change in printed output,
    by setting the following value in CORELAPP.INI:

       UseClippingForFills=1

    It is recommended that this setting be used.

2.  Windows 3.1 / MathCAD v6.0

    This is a Win31s application.  (See Bug #1 below.)  The printer driver dialog 
    boxes cannot be executed directly from the application.  To select desired
    printer settings, the printer driver dialog boxes can be invoked from
    Control Panel to change the default driver settings.

3.  Windows 3.1 / Print Shop Ensemble

    This is a Win31s application.  (See Bug #1 below.)  The printer driver dialog 
    boxes cannot be executed directly from the application.  To select desired
    printer settings, the printer driver dialog boxes can be invoked from
    Control Panel to change the default driver settings.

4.  Windows 3.1 NotePad

    When printing at 600 dpi, NotePad clips characters at the left and right
    edges of the page.  This is a bug in NotePad.  To work around the problem,
    set print resolution to 300 dpi from the Options page of the printer dialog
    box.

5.  Windows 3.1 / Corel Envoy Viewer V1

    This application ignores changes to printer settings when the printer
    dialog box is invoked from within the application ("File"/"Print Setup" or
    "File"/"Print"/"Setup").  To change printer settings, select a different
    printer then go to Program Manager / Control Panel and enter the desired
    selections.  Then re-select the printer from application.  It will use
    the default settings entered from Control Panel.

6.  Windows 3.1 / Adobe FrameMaker v5

    This application ignores changes to printer settings when the printer
    dialog box is invoked from within the application ("File"/"Print Setup" or
    "File"/"Print"/"Setup").  To change printer settings, select a different
    printer then go to Program Manager / Control Panel and enter the desired
    selections.  Then re-select the printer from application.  It will use
    the default settings entered from Control Panel.

7.  Microsoft Excel

    When changing print resolution, the user needs to be sure that resolution
    matches between the MS Excel application program and the printer driver.  
    Most applications will do this automatically.  MS Excel will not in some cases, 
    depending on how resolution is selected.  Resolution is set in the
    application menus under File/Page Setup/Print Quality.  It is set in
    the printer driver dialog box under File/Print/Properties/Options/Resolution.

8.  Microsoft Excel v5.0:  Printer Settings

    New printer settings set in the Printer Driver dialog boxes 
    (File/Printer Setup/Setup) are not passed by Excel to the printer
    driver, therefore they are not used in printing.  To work around the
    problem, enter the new settings then select a different printer/driver
    on the Printer Setup screen, then go back into Printer Setup and 
    re-select the correct printer/driver.

9.  All Applications:  Application Print Settings

    Many application programs have their own dialog box controls for common
    printer settings, such as paper size, orientation, paper tray, number of 
    copies, etc.  Usually when applications have their own settings they
    will override the values set in the printer dialog box.  If the settings
    you select in the printer driver dialog box are being ignored, check
    whether the application has its own dialog box for the settings.  If so,
    be sure the correct values are selected in the application, or for maximum
    safety, be sure the correct values are selected in both the application 
    and the printer driver dialog box.

10. All Applications:  Printer Settings

    Whenever a print setting can be set from both the printer driver dialog
    box and the printer control panel, the value set in the printer driver
    dialog box will override the control panel.  If you are trying to 
    set a value from the printer control panel and it is being ignored when 
    you print, try entering the setting in the printer driver dialog box.

11. Windows 3.1 / Print Settings

    In Windows 3.1, different print settings are maintained for each
    output target to which the driver prints.  Therefore when output is
    redirected to a different port (for example LPT1 or LPT2), or sent
    to a disk file, print settings may change.  This can result
    in confusing behavior when output is sent to different printers,
    or captured to a file, and a different set of print settings are
    used.  The user should check that print settings are correct
    whenever output targets are switched, or when 'print to file' is
    turned on or off.


Bugs / Caveats
--------------

1. Win32s

   The printer driver dialog boxes cannot be executed directly from the 
   a Windows 3.1 or WFW 3.11 application running under Win32s.  The workaround
   for this problem is to run the dialog boxes from Control Panel to set
   desired settings to the default driver settings.  The default settings will
   be used by the driver when printing from the application.

2. All Applications:  Font Size > 1000 Points

   The largest font size that can be printed in a PCL print stream is 
   999.75 points (approx. 13.9 inches).  Using default driver settings, 
   any font larger than this will be printed at this size.  If larger sizes 
   than this are required, go to the 'Options' page of the printer dialog
   box and change "TrueType Options" to "Rasters".

3. All Applications:  Clipped Characters

   Clipped characters will not be printed when using printer-resident fonts or
   downloaded TrueType fonts.  A character that is straddling the margin of
   the printable area on the page will not be printed.  For downloaded TrueTypes,
   clipped characters can be printed by changing "TrueType Options" to "Rasters"
   on the 'Options' page of the printer dialog.
