3. Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions -------------------------------------

Note the following limitations when using this software.

- In order to install the printer driver, you must log into the system as
an Administrator.

- Before installing this software, be sure to check the following.

1. Close any application software running on your computer.
2. If a document is being printed, either stop printing or wait for printing
to end.
3. Close all printer driver dialog boxes.

- If the software application supports print copies, you can set up with
either the application software or the printer driver.

- When setting scaling with an application, make sure the printer driver
scaling is set to 100%.

- If the printer driver is configured to perform page layout printing in

Page Layout in the Layout sheet, do not use the collate function in the
application software, otherwise the page might not be laid out correctly.
If you are using a device that supports the Collate function in the
printer driver, perform collation by turning Collate on in the Layout sheet.

- When using scaling function, an error occurring from the difference

between the degree of scaling and resolution may cause lines and other
distortions to appear in the printout.

- When printing reduced scaling color image data, 1 dot wide lines and points
may not be printed.

- Some applications may not print lines with almost horizontal angles
correctly. If this occurs, redraw lines horizontally.

- Immediately after installing the printer driver (including new editions),

some application software may not be able to recognize new functions.
Select Print in the File menu of all application software with a printer
function, and then select the name of the printer you're using, and click
the Properties button.
When the Properties dialog box opens, click the OK button to close.

- When binder printing with the Microsoft Binder, click off the check box
for executing binder printing as one job. Each print job will be processed
as a separate print job.

- When a watermark is specified with too many letters, or with letters

in very large font sizes, the watermark may not print.

- Watermark text including F040 and up of external characters will not

be printed.

- For some applications, watermarks may print incorrectly for the first
printing.

- If you change the printer name in the General sheet of the printer driver's
Properties dialog box, Profiles registered in the print driver become
ineffective, so store your customized settings in a file before changing the
printer name.
After changing the printer name, load the stored file.

- High resolution printing requires a large amount of computer memory.

If there is very little computer memory available or you are using a large
 amount of application software, the application software may not operate
normally.
In this event, restart Windows and shut down any applications that are not
being used when restarting printing.
If printing still does not proceed normally, select a lower resolution in
the Print Quality setting in the Main sheet.

- With a local connection, if Enable bidirectional support in the Port sheet

of the printer driver's Properties dialog box has no check mark,
printer information and device information cannot be obtained normally.

- When using a printer connected with USB, do not use Standby mode.
You can set Standby mode in Power Options in Control Panel.

- With Microsoft Excel, when Collate has a check mark and you perform
multiple sheet printing or Entire workbook printing with different
printing settings for each sheet, if you perform Page Layout Printing,
the results may not be those intended.

- When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may time out during
printing and printing may not be possible. If this occurs,
open the Advanced sheet in the printer driver Properties dialog box and
tick the Start printing after last page is spooled checkbox in Spool print
documents so program finishes printing faster.

- Thin line, gradation etc. printing may not be possible. If this occurs,
open the printer driver's Properties dialog box from Print in the
application software's File menu, and try printing following the steps
below.
1. Remove the check from Open Preview When Print Job Starts in the
Main sheet.
2. Remove the check from Page Layout in the Layout sheet.

- When there is a large volume of print data, the printer may take time out
during printing, and printing may not be possible. If this occurs, extending
the Job Time Out set time with the printer's operation panel may enable
printing.

- You may not be able to print data for large size media with
Adobe Illustrator and other software. If this occurs, try printing
after performing the following.
- Open the Main sheet and untick the Open Preview checkbox.
- Increase the amount of memory allotted to virtual memory.
- Place or remove a check from the ON/OFF check box in Bitmap Printing
in the Print dialog box when using Adobe Illustrator.

- When installing this software from the installer, if you fail to follow the
screen instruction to restart your computer, Microsoft Office may operate
incorrectly.
If this occurs, restart your computer.

- To switch the units display between inches (US) and mm (Metric)

for the Media Size settings and other displays, in the menu for
the Regional Options in the OS control panel, select Input Locales.

- If one printer is used with both USB and network connection, please install
the Canon imagePROGRAF Status Monitor.

- For some applications, when using functions such as Scaling,

 N Pages per Sheet, and Edging, output with graphics data may diverge
from the original.

- Color settings dialog box can be performed for each object. However,
with some software applications the print results may not be what you
expect after text and graphic data handling.

- When printing data that includes an extremely large image from a computer
with little available memory, it may take time to print, a portion of the
image may be missing, or it may otherwise not print properly.
If this occurs, try printing after performing the following.
- Increase the amount of memory allotted to your computer.
- Increase your OS's virtual memory.

- Do not change the Print Processor setting

in the Advanced sheet in the printer driver's Properties dialog box.

- Data created with Microsoft Word may not print properly when printing with
the Enlarged/Reduced Printing or Borderless Printing settings. If this
occurs, try printing after performing the following.
 - Open the folder of the printer from the Start menu, right-click
the printer, and select Printing Preferences. Set Page Size,
Enlarged/Reduced Printing, and Borderless Printing from the Page Setup
sheet, and start the application.

In these cases, clear the Automatically switch paper sources
(paper size priority) check box.
