    at the same time. The print out of one set of document may be separated by 
    another print job. 
    ==> In this case, select Uncollated.

    When printing with using screen fonts installed in your computer, some of 
    fonts or characters may not be printed correctly.
  9)For using printers installed on Windows 2003 Server as logical printers

    in client computers and the name of the printers has "/" (slash, ex. 
    "Model1/Model2 PCL"), printing from the client computers (printing to the 
    logical printers in the client computers) may not be done correctly because 
    of restrictions of Windows 2003 Server.

  12)Acquire Device Information
    When you installed the printer driver to a client computer by Point and Print,
    you can not use [Configure]-[Acquire Device Information] in the printer property.
    ==> Please set the composition of Device Options manually or acquire the option
        information on the server.
  13)Quality [* PS Driver only]
     When you set [Quality]tab -[Quality Adjustment]-[Detail]-[Photo]-[Pure Black] 
     to Off, the full color counter will be counted up because the device performs 
     CMYK print, but documents will be printed more beautifully.
  14)When you selected a printer which belongs to one of computers in "WORKGROUP"
     of "My Network" and installed the printer driver, you may not open the printer 
     property of the installed printer.
     ==> In this case, please install the printer driver by its installer.
  15)When you installed the network printer by using "Browse for Printer" in "Printers 
     and Faxes" folder, you may not open the printer property of the installed printer.
     ==> In this case, please install the printer driver in the way described below.

         window.
      2) Select "Local Port" for "Type of port" and enter "\\NetBios name\service name"

      3) After that, install the printer driver according to the Wizard.
