# Other important points

## [General Issue]

- Banner pages cannot be printed using the source tray that is selected to print "Chapter Page". Please use another source tray to print banner pages.
- On some applications, the backside of a duplex page is incremented by the device counter. These applications add a blank page to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs.
  Workaround:
  Specify the number of copies using the driver.
- In the environment to which the computer name is set by 16 bytes or more, the host name with banner page print is printed only up to 15 bytes.
- In the case of specific application, only one part will be printed even if the combination of post-processing features and number of copies by from the driver set of multiple. Post-processing capability refers to the following items.
  - Staple
  - Punch
  - Fold
  - Sort
  - Perfect Binding
  - Layout and Booklet etc.
    The example of specific application : Microsoft Office
- Use of Raster Mode with the Layout settings (= pages per sheet) may be printed roughly.
  Workaround:
  Use Vector Mode in the PCL driver.

## [OS/Windows Related Issues]

- The driver's "Web Image Monitor" button might not work in an IPv6 environment.
- When using Windows XP, users might not be able to update the printer options by using the driver's "Update Now" button or "Automatically Update Printer information" setting. If this situation occurs, log off from the current user account and log on again or reboot the PC.

## [Driver Setting Related Issues]

- The use of Reverse Order is not supported with the Duplex, Front Cover, Back Cover, Chapter Pages, Slip Sheet functions.
- The number of copies specified using driver's may not work when printing from the following applications:
  - Adobe Reader
  - Adobe Acrobat
  - Adobe Illustrator
  - Adobe InDesign
  Workaround:
  Please specify the number of copies using the application's "Copies" setting.
- If the Staple setting is "2 at Center" or if the "Reverse Order"setting is On, the driver will add an extra page to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page will be incremented in the printer's counter. There is no way to prevent this.

## [Printing Issues]

- Additional Page Count in Duplex Printing. An extra page is added to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page might be incremented in the printer's counter.
- Thin lines printed at high resultion (1200dpix1200dpi) might be difficult to see in the printed output. In such cases, use of a lower resolution is recommended.
- Some shaded images may not be printed correctly when Raster Mode is used.
  Workaround:
  Use Vector Mode in the PCL driver.
- Depending on the combination of text and font settings for watermark, text might not be printed.
  In such case, a change of font is recommended.

## [B/W print with CMYK setting Issue]

- If the "Color/ Black and White" setting is "Color" some purely BW objects might be printed using CMYK toners (composite black). If the "Color/ Black and White" setting = "Black and White", all objects will be printed using K toner (pure black) only.
