===============================================================================
 Notes on use
===============================================================================
-----------------
1. General
-----------------
(1) Be sure to use the printer driver, which corresponds to your printer's name.

(2) The maximum number of printed copies that can be set for the printer is 
    9,999.
    Although a larger number may be set depending on the application, 
    be sure to set the number of copies to a maximum of 9,999 or less. 
    If a number more than or equal to 10,000 is set, 
    the actual number of printed copies may not be correct.

(3) Image rotation function
    In some applications, regular size originals are temporarily handled 
    as portrait originals in memory regardless of the orientation.
    For landscape originals, the portrait state (rotated 90 degrees) is 
    regarded as 0 degree and then rotated by the angle that has been set.

(4) Image processing
    If images with gradation are output with dot screen, 
    density steps may be visible to the naked eye.

(5) Form function
    When using the form function, match the settings of the paper size and 
    orientation of data to be output with those of registered form data. 
    If these settings do not match, the printing may cause unexpected results.

(6) If you perform multi-page printing from a computer with small available
    storage space,  the spool area of the computer may become
    insufficient and printing may not be performed properly. 

(7) If the protocol for the printing port is set to [LPR] or [IPP], the maximum
    file size for printing is 2 GB. 
    For printing a spool file that exceeds 2 GB, set the protocol for the
    printing port to [RAW].

(8) If the protocol for the printing port is set to [RAW],
    a sent job is processed on the printer and the printer is unable to 
    receive subsequent jobs while processing.
     (An error message is shown on the PC.)
    In this case, try again after some time or change the protocol for
    the printing port to [LPR].

(9) The version and color printing contents output by test printing are the 
    contents displayed by the Microsoft(R) Windows system.
    For the printer driver version, refer to the [Version] button on the
    [Advanced] tab in the [Printing Preferences] dialog. 

(10) If printing does not function properly after installation of the printer 
     driver, restart the print spooler or the OS.

(11) The following character strings may not be displayed completely 
     if they are too long.
     - [Destination] field on the [Basic] tab
     - [Barcode Area Definition] menu on the [Image] tab
     - [Job Name] menu on the [Advanced] tab
     - [Job Comment] menu on the [Advanced] tab
     - [Name] box in the [Custom paper entry] screen on the [Environment] tab
       of the Property dialog box

(12) RISO shall not provide any PCL printer driver.
     For PCL output, available functions differ from printing via
     PS printer driver.

-----------------------------
2. For Windows user
-----------------------------

(1) If you execute uninstallation while the printer driver is used 
    (printer driver is opened from an application), the printer driver is not 
    uninstalled correctly. 
    After closing all applications, execute uninstallation.
    

(2) This product is designed for "Desktop Style", and does not work on
    "Windows Store App".

(3) When using this product as a Shared Printer,
    be sure to restart the client PC before printing
    if you update the printer driver on the client PC 
    with [Update Driver].
    Otherwise, the printer driver may not work properly.
    If you perform printing before restarting the PC,
    delete the printer driver and reinstall it.

(4) If you run the quick installer on a server over the network,
    the installer may not launch. Run the quick installer on your local PC.


===============================================================================
 Restrictions from software to be used
===============================================================================
-----------------
1. General
-----------------
(1) Be sure to remove the check mark from [Collate] in the print dialog 
    application. Remove it even for collated printing.
    If the checkmark is placed, printing may not be performed correctly. 

(2) In Microsoft(R) Word or Excel(R), 
    if you print originals including multiple paper sizes, 
    data of the second page and after may not be printed properly.

(3) In Microsoft Word, if you change the paper size repeatedly, 
    margin setting may not be performed properly. 
    In this case, close the application temporarily and restart it.

(4) When printing files from Microsoft Excel with Print what set to 
    [Entire workbook], 
    if [Page Setup] or [Print Setting] varies with the sheet, 
    printing may not be performed correctly. 
    In this case, set [Page Setup] and [Print Setting] the same for all sheets.

(5) When printing files from Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) or Adobe Acrobat Reader(R),
    if [Line smoothing] is set to [OFF] or [Low], some characters may be
    printed thinner than others. 
    In this case, set [Line smoothing] to [High].

(6) In Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader, if you print landscape originals, 
    enable the setting of [Auto-Rotate and Center].

(7) In Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader, if you enable the setting of
    [Fit to paper], the zoom setting of the printer driver cannot be used.
    Disable this setting.

(8) In Adobe Acrobat Reader, if color conversion setting is embedded in
    creation of PDF, the printing may be performed with unexpected colors.

(9) To print data of a mixed size original from Adobe Acrobat Reader, set the
    application as follows:
     * [Page Scaling] : [Fit to Printable Area]
     * [Auto-Rotate and Center] : [Select] 
     * [Choose paper source by PDF page size] : [Select] 

(10) In Adobe Photoshop(R), Adobe Illustrator(R), etc.,
     color conversion in an application may cause unexpected color printing.
     It is recommended to disable the color conversion setting in the 
     application.

(11) If a PDF file contains an image with high resolution, 
     printing may end in a PostScript(R) error. 
     You may avoid the above trouble by making the setting of [Print as image] 
     enable.

(12) If you print originals including semi-transparent object(s), 
     they may not be printed properly.

(13) The paper size displayed on the application and the paper
     size displayed in the printer driver may not match. The paper size set
     on the application is output.

(14) If the original data contains objects with spot color settings, 
     it may not be printed properly.
     You may avoid the above trouble by converting the spot colors to process
     colors before printing.

-------------------
2. For Windows user
-------------------
(1) In Microsoft Word, when specifying an irregular paper size, 
    disable the setting of [Allow A4/Letter paper resizing] among the options of
    the print setting dialog.

(2) In Microsoft Word, 
    if a document contains GIF or PNG image data using transparent color, 
    the processing time of the data may take too long. 
    You may avoid the above trouble 
    by pasting the image without using the transparent color
    and using the function for transparency of Microsoft Word. 

(3) In Microsoft Word, Excel or PowerPoint(R), 
    printing of bitmap images may cause printing of some colors in white areas. 
    In this case, adjust the [Brightness] in properties of the bitmap image.

(4) In Microsoft Publisher, the setting value of the printer driver 
    may not be reflected in the print correctly. 
    In that case, select the printer driver again after selecting 
    another printer driver once. 
    It makes the setting of the application clear and the print will be 
    performed correctly.

(5) In Microsoft Visio(R), an irregular size document (data) is treated 
    as an A4-sized (Letter-sized) document. 
    Such a case may be prevented with the procedures below.

     1. Register irregular paper sizes as the standards on "Custom Paper Entry" 
        of the printer driver.

     2. Open [Print Setup] in [File]-[Page Setup], and change the paper size 
        of printer to the same size of the original document.
        *If the original document is multiple pages, 
         change the sizes of all pages.

     3. Open the [Properties] dialog box on the [Print] dialog box 
        and select the registered irregular size at the "Original Size", 
        then click "OK" to close the dialog box.

     4. Close the [Print] dialog box.

     5. Reopen the [Print] dialog box and execute the print. 
        *Do not open the [Properties] here. 
         If you opened it, repeat the procedure from 2.

(6) When PPD files are used for print out with an application that 
    directly outputs a PostScript file, 
    copy first the PPD files stored in the following folder to the location 
    specified by the application and then execute printing.

    PPD name            Stored folder name
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    
    RSFxx.ppd         PPDs\Windows\[language]
    
    Each "xx" in the above PPD file names varies depending on the selected
    language and the printer series.
    e.g.) "EN" for English

(7) In Adobe Illustrator, 
    the settings made in [Printer(U)] of the [Print] dialog may not be reflected
    in the [Print] dialog at first time. (For example, the values of 
    [Width] and [Height] set in [Custom] of [Original size])
    In this case, click [Printer(U)] again, and then click [Print] in the 
    [Print] dialog that appears, and the settings may be reflected.

-------------------
3. For Mac OS user
-------------------
(1) On Mac OS, in some applications, 
    line-based colors become similar to photo-based colors.

(2) On Mac OS, in some applications, 
    monochrome processing may cause a low gray density.

(3) When PPD files are used for print out with an application that 
    directly outputs a PostScript file, 
    copy first the PPD files stored in the following folder to the location 
    specified by the application and then execute printing.

    PPD name            Stored folder name
    -----------------------------------------------------------------

    RSFxx.ppd         PPDs\[language]
    
    Each "xx" in the above PPD file names varies depending on the selected
    language and the printer series.
    e.g.) "EN" for English
