display the information about the Canon PCL5c, PCL5e or PCL6 printer driver.
Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
======================================
1. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the
PCL5e printer driver, you should select the alternate Graphics Mode
(Vector or Raster) to the one you are using currently in the Graphics
sheet. The Graphics sheet is displayed by clicking the Details button in the
Quality sheet.
2. If you have problems printing some graphics objects when printing with the
PCL6 printer driver, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select
Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is
displayed by clicking the Details button in the Quality sheet.
3. Certain TrueType fonts may not be printed correctly. If this occurs,
you should disable the Use Printer Fonts check box in the Detailed Settings
for Objective dialog box to ensure that all fonts are downloaded with the
document, rather than using only those fonts that reside in the printer. The
Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the
Details button in the Quality sheet.
If the problem persists, you should use the PCL5e printer driver and select
Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet, and then enable the Print
Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet.
4. Rotated text will not be printed correctly with some applications when
TrueType Mode is set to Download as TrueType or Download as Bit
Image in the Detailed Settings for Objective dialog box. The Detailed
Settings for Objective dialog box is displayed by clicking the Details
button in the Quality sheet. To avoid this problem, you should use the PCL5e
printer driver and select Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet,
and then enable the Print Text as Graphics check box in the Misc. sheet.
5. When Overlay Printing, use the overlay form whose size is the same as the
paper size of the document you are going to print.
6. In some applications, the printed output may not be correct when using the
scaling feature. In this case, use the PCL5e printer driver and select
Raster for Graphics Mode in the Graphics sheet. The Graphics sheet is
printing.
18.If it takes long time to print a document from CorelDraw, the following
settings may shorten the printing time.
1) From the Tools menu, select Options.
2) In the Options dialog box, select Global->Printing->Driver Compatibility

Insertion Unit may be attached upside down. If this occurs, put the cover
page in the Document Insertion Unit in the opposite direction.
20.When printing a document with a banner page attached from the server PC
under the NetWare environment, two copies of the banner page may be output.
21.For iR2000/1600, 2010/1610, 400, GP300-405, 555-605-605P and LBP-2000, refer
to the following points when making the Mail Box name file.
-
Note:
It is unnecessary to include keys for a box number whose name is not
specified.
Also, if the keys without box name are included in the file, they will be
ignored.
Sample File
----------------------------[BoxName]
Key=1
0=
1=Joe Smith
2=Bob Jones
3=Sally Hill
50=
48=
58=
55=Robert Brown
71=Peter Wilson
99=Lucie Jones
----------------------------22.Black-and-white pages may be counted as color pages, depending on data,
application, or driver settings when you select Auto [Color/B&W] or Color for
Color Mode in the Quality sheet. If you want to print a document as a
black-and-white job, select Black and White for Color Mode.
23.If you select Transparency or Label for Paper Type in the Paper Source
sheet, a message indicating that you cannot print the document unless
you change the Paper Type may appear. If this message appears, you may
be able to print a document by deselecting the Offset check box in the
Finishing sheet.
24.For LBP5960, when using a custom paper size for printing, the print data may
not be output correctly if the length of the custom paper size is greater
than 1168.6 mm.
25.There may be cases where the Custom Paper Type information registered in the
printer is not acquired correctly when installing the printer driver.
If so, reacquire the correct information by clicking on the Get Device
Status button in the Device Settings sheet, or the Get Paper Details button
in the Paper Type Settings dialog box, displayed by clicking the Settings but
ton
in the Paper Source sheet.
26.When an "@" character is used in the name of the printer, the printer will
become unrecognizable by the operating system because of an invalid printer
name thus disabling printing, operation and setup.
27.If you print a document that has an odd number of pages as a two-sided
document from an application, the application may automatically insert a
blank page to bring the number of pages up to an even number. When this
happens, the blank page inserted by the application is counted up in the
same way as a printed page.
28.To register the custom paper size you want to use, access the Document
Properties dialog box from the Printers folder with Administrator privileges,
and then specify the paper size in the Custom Paper Size Settings dialog box
which is displayed by clicking the Custom Paper Size button in the Page
Setup sheet.
29.When you log on to an Administrator account that is different from the one
used to install the software, you will not be able to access the driver
properties with Administrator privileges. To access the driver properties,
select [Run as Administrator].
30.In certain applications, thickness of a line can be set to a value smaller
than 1pt but the actual thickness in the printout may be equivalent to that
of an 1pt line.
31.When a document is output at a resolution of 1200 dpi set from an
application, jaggies in images may be more noticeable than when the
document is printed at 600 dpi.
32.If you are using a USB connection with the printer to print,
and cancel a print job that is currently printing from your computer
using the print spooler, the printer may not return to a ready state.
In this state, you can print via USB, but not via a network.
In order to be able to print from a network, cancel the print job from the
control panel of the printer prior to printing.
33.For Windows Server 2008 x64 installed with Server Core option, the following
limitations exist on using the printer driver.
- You cannot install the driver with the installer. Use the installation
options of Windows.
- Some print options are not available under local environment or Windows
Remote Desktop environment.
34.If the driver version of the client computer is older than that of the
print server, the driver settings of the server may not be applied to
the client.
35.If you are using a printer (AutoCreatedPrinter) created with the "Auto
Created Client Printer" function of Citrix XenDesktop, you may not be
able to use the Department ID Management function or the Get Device
Status function.
If this is the case, use the Citrix XenDesktop Universal Printer Driver
(UPD), or select a Standard TCP/IP Port for which the IP address of a
printer you are actually outputting to has been set.
* If you are using the Universal Printer Driver, you may not be able to
use some printer functions correctly, depending on the environment you
are using. For a detailed solution, see the next item.
36.If you are using the Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix
XenDesktop Universal Printer Driver (UPD), you may not be able to use the
Department ID Management function, Get Device Status function, and/or Edit
+ Preview function, and print settings such as page layout, booklet
printing, etc. may be invalid.
If this is the case, with Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or Citrix
XenDesktop in a disconnected state, deselect [Enable advanced printing
features] in the [Advanced] sheet of the printer properties dialog box of
the client printer, then connect Citrix XenApp (Presentation Server) or
Citrix XenDesktop.
* Depending on the environment you are using, you may not be able to
perform the above operations in the way described. If this is the case,
refer to the Citrix website.
