-
- 4.0 Cautions, Limitations and Restrictions
- ================================================
- 4.1 During Installation Procedure
-
- 1. If you receive a message which indicates that the
- BJ Series printer driver is already in use during
- the installation procedure, close all open
- applications and try installing the printer driver
- again.
-
- 2. If you cancel the installation procedure before all
- necessary files of this BJ Series printer driver are
- copied, the printer driver cannot be installed
- completely, even though it appears in the list of
- Installed Printers.
- You must therefore reinstall the BJ Series printer
- driver from the first step described in the
- instruction manual such as "Windows Print Guide"
- and complete the installation procedure.
-
- --------------------------------------------------
- 4.2 During Printing Procedure
-
- 1. If your printer is capable of printing in colour,
- do not attempt to print in Colour mode when a black
- ink cartridge is installed in your printer. The
- results will be unpredictable.
-
- 2. After printing an image with Photo Colour ink, please
- allow the ink to dry for 15-30 minutes.
-
- 3. For some printer models, the Cartridge Detection
- feature may not function if you have used the BJ
- Setup Utility to set the Printer Control Mode to the
- Automatic mode.
- To use the Cartridge Detection feature, set the
- Printer Control Mode to either LQ or BJ mode.
-
- 4. Some thin lines which are not solid black may not
- print using the BJ Series printer driver's default
- settings.
- To work around this, set the Photo setting to the
- Print Model in the Graphics tab. This will use an
- alternative dot-placement method that produces better
- results.
-
- 5. A blank dialogue box may appear when you are using
- Manual Feed mode. When this dialogue box appears,
- insert a sheet of paper and click OK.
-
- 6. If you select Automatic from Print Model in Graphics
- tab sheet or Auto from Halftoning in Custom Setting
- dialogue and start printing, some part of the printed
- image which should be printed with Diffusion
- halftoning may be printed with Fine halftoning.
- To correct this problem, set Diffusion to the
- Halftoning in Custom Setting dialogue.
-
- 7. Some Bar Code TrueType fonts may be printed with
- some extraneous lines.
-
- 8. When sharing a document file among several computer
- systems, make sure that all the fonts used by the
- document are installed on all computer systems.
- Otherwise, some text fonts will not be printed
- correctly.
-
- 9. This BJ Series printer driver supports a special
- transparent mode when printing overlapping bitmapped
- graphics. However, some applications (such as
- PhotoShop V3.0, Claris Works and possibly other)
- do not support the transparent mode correctly, and
- this can cause printing errors. Other applications
- incorrectly set the background colour for bitmapped
- graphics, and this can also cause printing errors.
- To work around these problems, the printer driver
- will automatically add the following lines to your
- system's WIN.INI file when it is installed.
- [CanonDriver]
- ForceOpaque=1
- PhotoShopBugFix=1
- To disable these work-arounds, you can edit the
- WIN.INI file and change the "1" to "0" and then
- restart Windows. For most applications, you should
- leave these items set to "1".
-
- 10. A known problem in Corel Mosaic Version 5.0 may
- cause incomplete printed output. Please contact
- Corel Corporation for an update.
-
- 11. When printing from Adobe Photoshop, select the RGB
- mode rather than the CMYK mode to avoid printing
- some incorrect colours.
-
- 12. Banner Printing Tip
- (Banner-capable printer models only)
-
- - MS Publisher 97
- To avoid some overlapping printed results between
- page boundaries, select File/Print/Tile Printing
- Options and set the value of Overlap tiles to 0.
-
- - Print Shop Ensemble III
- To avoid any gaps between pages, use Standard
- quality instead of Draft.
-
- - For best results, you should only print one copy
- of a banner at a time. If you perform multiple
- copies, the printing results may be unpredictable.
