This document gives you the detail of important matters which have to be checked before you install the AR-PB2 printer driver. Be sure to read this document thoroughly before continuing with the installation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Compatible OS --------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows 3.1/95/98 PCL5e Driver: Microsoft Windows 3.1, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1x, Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 Windows NT 4.0 PCL5e Driver: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Windows 3.1/95/98 PS2 Driver: Microsoft Windows 3.1, Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1x, Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 Windows NT 4.0 PS2 Driver: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Windows 95/98 PPD: Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows 98 Windows NT 4.0 PPD: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hint --------------------------------------------------------------------- - CD-ROM for Windows NT4.0 is required for installing the Windows NT 4.0 PPD. Such Files as PSCRIPT.DLL and others which are necessary for installing the Windows NT 4.0 PPD are in the i386 folder inside the CD-ROM. - Some light colored lines and/or slim lines might not be printed (or invisible). At that time, please change the color of the line darker or make the line thicker. - When you use the watermark with non-resident font, the watermark might not be printed properly. At that time, please use resident font for watermark. - If the setting "collate" exists in the print dialog box or application's print settings, do not select this setting. This setting is not necessary because this printer always performs collated printing. If this setting is selected, two-sided printing or stapling with multiple prints may not be performed properly. - When you want to do Booklet printing with any application and if the application has the paper size setting, please select Booklet from the paper size selection of the application. When you select the Booklet at printer property dialog box, Booklet feature might not be done properly. - When you are using Windows PCL printer driver with some applications such as Adobe FreeHand, watermark might not be printed even if you have set to print watermark in printer driver. - Please don't register more than 30 original watermarks with Windows PCL printer driver on Windows NT4.0. If you do so, the Windows might be unstable. If your Windows fell into such a status, please do following instructions: 1) Quit the application by force using "Ctrl+Alt+Del". 2) Delete the file "C:\WinNT\Swwater.ini". (The file path "C:\WinNT" may vary depending on system configuration.) With above instruction, all of the original watermarks will be eliminated but the driver come back to work properly. - With some applications such as Lotus Approach97 if you select "Download fonts" as the font source and select "Download as bit image" as the TrueType Mode in font dialog, shrieked font might be printed. At that time, please use resident font or select "Download as TrueType" as the TrueType Mode. - With some applications such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Photoshop or Corel Draw, some extra features of Windows PS printer driver such as Watermark or N-up might not work properly. At that time, please turn the check off of "PS Path-through" in "Advanced" tab of printer property dialog. - When you use Microsoft Notepad or Paintbrush on Windows 3.1x, it is impossible to print with Windows PS printer driver. Please use Windows PCL printer driver. - Custom size paper is not supported with Windows PS printer driver of this version. Please use Windows PCL printer driver to use custom size paper. - Negative Image feature does not work properly with multiple pages original. Please use with single page original. - "Blank Pages After Novell Job" turn off the network setting on the client PC. "Form Feed After Job" Blank Pages will not longer print. --------------------------------------------------------------------- SHARP Corporation does not guarantee the accuracy of the information contained in this document and the software (SHARP AR-PB2 printer driver) which accompanies this document for any purpose other than what they are intended for. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Microsoft, Windows and Windows NT are registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and worldwide.
