Instructions for Use (Printer Driver)
This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions. Keep the following points in mind when using
the printer driver.
Restrictions on the Printer Driver
Depending on the document type to be printed, the paper feed method specified in the printer driver
may not operate correctly.
If this happens, open the printer driver setup screen from the Print dialog box of the application
software, and check the setting in the Paper Source field on the Main tab.
With some applications, the Copies setting in the Page Setup tab of the printer driver may not be
enabled.
In this case, use the copies setting in the Print dialog box of the application software.
If the selected Language in the About dialog box does not match the operating system interface
language, the driver screen may not be displayed properly.
Do not change the Advanced tab items of the printer properties. If you change any of the items, you
will not be able to use the following functions correctly.
Also, if Print to file is selected in the Print dialog box of the application software and with applications
that prohibit EMF spooling, such as Adobe Photoshop LE and MS Photo Editor, the following
functions will not operate.
Preview before printing on the Main tab
Prevent loss of print data in the Print Options dialog box
Page Layout Printing, Poster Printing, Booklet Printing, Duplex Printing (manually), Specify
Margin..., Print from Last Page, Collate, and Stamp/Background... on the Page Setup tab
Since the resolution in the preview display differs from the printing resolution, text and lines in the
preview display may appear different from the actual print result.
With some applications, the printing is divided into multiple print jobs.
To cancel printing, delete all divided print jobs.
If image data is not printed correctly, display the Print Options dialog box from the Page Setup tab
and change the setting of Disable ICM required from the application software. This may solve the
problem.
If you use the Bluetooth option and perform one of the actions listed below, the print job may not end
and "Printing" may remain displayed on the status monitor even after printing ends and the printout
is ejected. If this happens, either click the Cancel Printing button on the Status Monitor or cancel that
print job from the print job queue of the printer.
If you move the machine during printing to a location where radio waves cannot reach or if the
radio wave status becomes poor
If you turn off the machine
If you are using a Bluetooth printer and you cancel printing after a printer error occurs, you may not
be able to execute subsequent printing operations. If this happens, turn off the machine and turn it
back on again.
If you are using Bluetooth, you cannot use the operation panel on the machine while the status
monitor is displayed from View Printer Status... on the Maintenance tab.
Software windows may not appear correctly on Windows Vista when fonts are set to Larger scale. If
you want to display the windows with Larger scale fonts, set the desktop theme to Windows Classic
as follows:
1. Select Control Panel from the Start menu.
2. Select Appearance and Personalization -> Personalization -> Theme.
The Theme Settings dialog box opens.
3. At the Theme Settings dialog box, click the Themes tab, and select Windows Classic from
Theme.
4. Click OK.
Desktop changes to Windows Classic display.
The card slot (memory card) of the machine may become inaccessible. In such cases, restart the
machine or turn it off and reconnect the USB cable.
