==================================================================

Thank you for purchasing our product. 
This document gives you the details of important matters which
have to be checked before you install the printer driver. 
Be sure to read this document thoroughly before continuing with 
the installation.

Some of contents described in this file may be unique, 
corresponding to specific kinds of models or drivers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

 Tips

-----------------------------------------------------------------

- If you upgrade the printer driver, be sure to install the new
  version of the printer driver after deleting the older version.
  Otherwise, the new version of driver may prevent the older
  version of printer driver from working.

- If it is possible, try to use the latest versions of 
  software applications, which are compatible with the operating 
  system.
  A document created on an old version of a software application 
  may not print correctly if printed from a newer version of the 
  software. In this case, try saving the document using the 
  new version, and then print it.

- The position, size, and color of a watermark shown in the 
  watermark preview (on the left side of the "Watermark" tab) in 
  the driver properties may differ from the actual printed result.
  Use the preview only as a general guideline.

- When "N-Up printing" is  selected, or when the 
  "Input Resolution" is changed, the position of line 
  breaks may change. In this event, adjust the character size 
  and/or margins, and use the "Print preview" or "Show page 
  layout" function in the software application to check the 
  print layout before printing.

- The displayed "number of pages" in the print queue may not 
  be automatically updated. You can press the F5 key to 
  update the displayed number.

- When the "Fit To Paper Size" function in the "Paper" tab is 
  used, enlargement or reduction is calculated based on the 
  "Paper size" in the "Paper" tab, not on the paper size in the 
  application. Therefore, when using this function, make sure 
  that the "Paper size" in the "Paper" tab is the same as the 
  paper size in the application.

- If N-Up printing is selected in the "Main" tab when a watermark 
  has been selected, an image will appear indicating that one 
  watermark will be printed on the paper. The image simply 
  indicates that a watermark has been selected; it does not 
  indicate the printing result. A watermark will actually be 
  printed on each page of the document. 
  For example, when a multi-page document is printed using 2-Up 
  printing, two watermarks will be printed on each sheet of paper.

- If the printer driver language in use is different from the OS 
  language, "Watermark" is not sometimes printed correctly. 

- When you use SC-Print2005, switching the user, you have to 
  restart your computer.

          About Limitations for each Application Software

-----------------------------------------------------------------

- When editing multiple documents in Microsoft Word 2000 or later, 
  opening the driver properties and changing the print settings 
  for one document may result in changes in the print settings 
  for the other documents. In this case, reset the print 
  settings before printing each document.

- If a document is printed using a large font in Microsoft Word and 
  other applications, the application may be shut down by Windows.
  Fonts larger than 300 points can be set in Microsoft Word; however, 
  do not use a font larger than approximately 300 points for 
  printing.
  When using a large font in a document, we recommend that you 
  frequently save the document so edits are not lost.

- Some English fonts may not print correctly from WordPad. In 
  this case, use a different word processor application 
  (Microsoft Word, etc.)

- In WordPad, printing may not take place correctly if you 
  specify a page range starting from the second page. In this 
  event, select "All" for the pages to be printed.

- When using Acrobat Reader 5.0 or later, a landscape-oriented 
  document may be printed in the opposite orientation of other 
  applications. In this event, deselect the "Auto-rotate and 
  center pages" checkbox in the Print dialog box before printing.

- Graphics in a Power Point document may print in black, try the following:
    (1) Select "Print" from the "File" menu in Power Point.
    (2) Set off in the Grayscale function in the Print dialog box.
    (3) Click the "OK" button.
        ===> Printing begins.

- When you use the Internet Explorer with "Protected Mode",  
  some functions  may not be used correctly. This probrem may be 
  solved by modifying the  "Enable Protected Mode" of the "Security" 
  tab to be "OFF" after selecting  the "Tool"-"Internet Options" 
  menu in Internet Explorer. 

- When you print data by using "2-sided print" or "N-up print" 
  prepared by application such as Microsoft Word, you might not 
  receive the desired print result. 
  We recommend you use the printer driver feature.
