    1. About Adobe Reader
        If you do not have Adobe Reader or Acrobat Reader installed
        on your computer, click "Manual" in the main menu of
        the Utilities and Documentation CD-ROM, and then click
        "Install Adobe Reader 6.0".
        Note: To install Adobe Reader 6.0, Service Pack 2 or later
        (for Windows 2000) and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or
        later must be installed.
        If your system does not meet these conditions, install
        Acrobat Reader 5.0 by double-clicking the program in the
        \Adobe\acrobat5 directory of the Utilities and Documentation
        CD-ROM.


============================================================
III.  APPLICATION NOTES

     1. Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 -- Dashed lines may not be
        imaged when printing PDF files. Upgrade to Acrobat
        Reader 5.0 or higher to resolve this problem.

     2. Acrobat Reader 5--When documents are printed with
        "Choose Paper Source by PDF page size", while "Print
        as image" is not selected, they may not print correctly.
        In this case, you may use one of the following methods:
          - Select "Shrink oversized pages to paper size" and 
            "Print as Image", when printing.
          - Upgrade to Adobe Reader 6 or later.

     3. CorelDRAW -- When printing a file to letter-size
        media, select Fit to Paper in the Output Paper
        Size section on the Paper tab. If you do not 
        select Fit to Paper, the image will be cut off
        on one side. 

     4. DOS -- The DOS copy and print commands are not
        supported.

     5. MS Internet Explorer 5.0 -- A SPOOL32 crash may
        occur when printing web pages containing Java-
        related data. Upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.5 or
        higher.

     6. MS Internet Explorer 6.0 (Window 98/Me) -- A band 
        may be imaged when printing web pages containing CSS 
        (Cascading Style Sheet) Level 1 objects. 

     7. MS Internet Explorer 5.x/6.x -- Some graphics (GIF)
        may not be imaged properly.

     8. MS Word -- When you open an existing Word document,
        Word passes its default media size on to the printer
        driver rather than using the media size specified 
        for the document. 

        Therefore, if you want to scale a document defined
        for one media size to print on another media size,
        use the following procedure:

          i. In Word go to File/Page Setup and check the
             media size.
         ii. In Word go to File/Print and choose the
             printer's Properties button.
        iii. On the printer driver's Paper tab, identify the
             Original Document Size (the media size 
             installed in the tray), and then select Fit to
             Paper.


============================================================
IV.  CONNECTIVITY

     1. Parallel -- For best printing performance through 
        the parallel port, use the ECP port setting.

     2. Parallel (Windows XP)--If you do not enter a user 
        name and password when logging onto the PC,
        communication between the PC and the printer may be 
        interrupted. Enter a user name and password every 
        time you log onto the PC to resolve this problem.

     3. USB -- If the PC is started before the printer is,
        the printer status may be offline. Unselect the "Use 
        Printer Offline" printer setting to resolve this
        problem (Choose Start>Settings>Printers [and Faxes]
        and then right-click on the printer icon).


============================================================
V. ERROR MESSAGES

     1. Invalid Printer Name -- An error message may be
        displayed when installing the printer driver. 
        Remove any spaces from the beginning or end of the 
        printer name text string to resolve this problem.


============================================================
VI. PRINTER DRIVER

     1. Canceling Job -- If the printing job is canceled by 
        cancel button, print speed of next job may slow down.

     2. Canceling Job -- If a paper jam occurs and you have 
        canceled printing job by pushing panel button,
        the next job on the printer spooler may also get canceled.

     3. Collation -- In order to collate multiple copies of a
        duplex print job with Booklet Left Binding or 
        Booklet Right Binding selected as the Duplex/Booklet
        option on the Setup tab, select collation in the
        printer driver only. Do not select collation in the
        application. This will cause the pages to print out
        of order.

     4. Easy Set -- If you choose Easy Set defaults on tabs
        other than the Paper tab, the scaling and copies 
        settings may not be set to the default. Set the 
        defaults on the Paper tab to resolve this problem.

     5. Installation (USB) -- Due to a Windows limitation, you
        are required to specify the location of the printer
        driver twice.

     6. Installation (Windows XP) -- Due to a Windows  
        limitation, when a second PagePro 1350W printer  
        driver is installed, the printer name in the Printers 
        folder is identified as (Copy 1) rather than 
        (Copy 2).

     7. Installation (Windows 2000) -- If the printer driver
        is installed by Plug and Play under Windows 2000, 
        the installer may try to install files for Windows
        XP. This does not cause a problem since the files
        for Windows 2000 and Windows XP are identical.

     8. Jam Recovery -- If a media jam occurs while you are 
        printing large jobs, the currently printing job may
        not be recovered.

     9. Jam Recovery -- If a media jam occurs while you are
        manually duplexing the back of a sheet of paper, 
        the printer cancels the currently printing job. If 
        this occurs, you should reprint both sides. 

    10. Job order -- If a print job is canceled and other jobs
        have been spooled, the order of the other jobs may be
        changed.

    11. Network setting -- This printer does not support 
        network install or printer sharing.

    12. Overlays -- Overlay files must be printed at the same
        resolution at which they were created. In other 
        words, if you create an overlay file at 600 dpi, any
        documents with which you use this overlay should 
        also be printed at 600 dpi. If you print the overlay
        at a different resolution, it is automatically
        resized and, therefore, placed incorrectly on the
        printed pages.

    13. Overlays -- Overlay files (*.prn) must be created with
        a PagePro 1350W driver. If you try to use an overlay
        file created with another driver, the file will not
        print.

    14. Overlays -- Printing a file with an overlay uses twice
        the virtual memory of regular printing. Therefore, it
        is recommended that you increase your PC's virtual
        memory.

    15. Printer Port (Windows 98/Me) -- Do not delete the USB 
        port while the PagePro 1350W printer driver is 
        installed.

    16. Scaling (Windows 98/Me) -- If the scaling is set to 
        over 199%, blank page(s) may be printed. Choose a 
        lower driver resolution or scaling percentage to 
        resolve this problem.

    17. Uninstallation -- If you uninstall the printer
        driver, you must restart the PC to complete the
        uninstallation. Otherwise, some files are locked by 
        the Windows operating system and therefore cannot be
        deleted.

    18. Installation --  When the printer driver of 
        PagePro 1350W is already installed, if you reinstall 
        overwrite the printer driver of PagePro 1350W, a setup 
        of PagePro 1350W Properties on application may not be 
        reflected. Restart the PC to resolve this problem.


============================================================
VII.  STATUS DISPLAY

     1. Autocontinue setting -- The Autocontinue setting in
        the Maintenance window may be automatically enabled or
        disabled when a size error occurs. It is recommended 
        that you reset Autocontinue in the Maintenance
        window whenever a size error occurs.     

     2. "Fuser Jam" message -- The Status Display displays a
        "Fuser Jam" error message if the printer's top cover 
        is opened when the printer is turned on.

     3. "Port Busy" message -- The Status Display may display
        a "Port Busy" status when the printer driver is
        sending data to the printer. However, the status
        should update itself when the driver finishes sending 
        data.

     4. "Printer not Attached" message -- The Status Display
        always looks for the default printer. Therefore, if
        the printer is not set up as the default printer,
        you receive a "Printer not attached" error message
        even if the printer is connected and turned on.

     5. User Account(Windows 2000/XP) -- The Status Display 
        displays "Fatal Spooler Error" when you are logged on
        as User Authority. Log on as Power User or 
        Administrator Authority to resolve this problem.
