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%.

- Some applications feature a function for collating. Do not use this function 
  when Page Layout Printing is selected in Page Layout in the Layout sheet. 
  If you do, the layout may not be correct.

- 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. 
  The following functions will not operate correctly if the setting is 
  changed:
     - The Free Layout function under Page Layout on the Layout sheet
     - The "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function

- The Free Layout function under Page Layout on the Layout sheet and the 
  "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function cannot be used in the following cases:
     -When Pause Printing is selected after right-clicking the printer icon 
      during a print job
     -When Use Printer Offline is selected after right-clicking the printer 
      icon during a print job
     -At any time other than the time selected with Available from/To on 
      the Advanced sheet of the printer properties dialog during a print job
     -When Enable advanced printing features is switched off on 
      the Advanced sheet of the printer properties dialog during a print job
     -When Print directly to the printer is enabled on the Advanced sheet 
      of the printer properties dialog during a print job
     -When FILE: is selected as the printer port on the Ports sheet of 
      the printer properties dialog during a print job
     -When Output to File is selected in the Print dialog box of 
      the software applications during a print job

- The Free Layout function under Page Layout 
  on the Layout sheet does not operate in the following cases: 
     - When printing with software applications such as Adobe Photoshop LE, 
       Microsoft Photo Editor, AceDraw and other such applications that forbid 
       EMF spooling

- If you install Point and Print, the Free Layout 
  function under Page Layout on the Layout sheet and the 
  "Canon imagePROGRAF Preview" function cannot be used.

- To print AdobeRGB color space images using Digital Photo Professional 
  provided with our digital camera, use the imagePROGRAF Print Plug-in 
  in order to apply the imagePROGRAF color reproduction sufficiently over 
  a wide area. However, in some cases the colors may not come out 
  as you expect if you use imagePROGRAF Printer Driver 2013 to perform 
  sRGB color space printing.

- If you used Adobe Photoshop for printing, tone jump may occur in the gradation 
  of monochrome photographs.

- If you have set Free Layout to perform printing,
  do not print using another driver.

- Stamps and page borders may not be printed correctly when the following 
  Print Quality settings are combined with large paper sizes:

- Images may not print centered in the middle if you have checked the box 
  for Center Image  in the print preview window and have performed printing 
  with Adobe Photoshop CS3. If you are unable to print, click the Page Setup 
  button in the Adobe Photoshop print preview window, and print after making 
  print settings.

- 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.
     - Open the Page Setup dialog box of Microsoft Word, and close it with OK.
     - After setting the printer driver, close the Print dialog box without 
       proceeding to print. Open the printer driver settings window once more, 
       close it with OK, and then proceed to print.

- In"Canon imagePROGRAF Preview", text, fine lines, etc. as displayed in 
  the view screen display may differ from print results. In this instance, 
  try opening the Special Settings dialog box in the Layout sheet and 
  checking Enable Preview Switching.
