4. Restrictions Related to Application Software
----------------------------------------------------------------
This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions for
the listed types of software. (For specific details, refer to
the user's manual provided with the software you use or contact
the appropriate support facility.)

- Microsoft Word 95 / 97 / 2000 / 2002 (Microsoft Corp.)
  When using Microsoft Word, documents designated for
  enlargement/reduction printing may not be enlarged or reduced
  as specified.
  To use the enlargement/reduction function, first select
  [Start] - [Settings] - [Printers], and right-click on the name
  of the printer you use. Then select [Set as Default], and
  specify the paper size in the Properties - [Page Setup] tab.
  Now you are ready to start the application.
  If you are not using the enlargement/reduction function, or if
  you are printing after clicking on the [Close] button to close
  the Print dialog box, the printer prints using the specified
  paper size.

- CorelDRAW (Corel Corporation)
  In some cases printer driver settings may not be valid. If
  this should occur, save the printing data, and close
  CorelDRAW. Then select [Start] - [Settings] - [Printers],
  right-click on the name of the printer you use. Then select
  Properties. Now enter the printer driver settings, start
  CorelDRAW again and print the document.

- Some software packages may cancel enlargement/reduction
  settings when the printer Properties window is closed and
  reopened.
  Enlargement/reduction ratios are set in terms of the ratio
  between the specified document size and the printer paper size.
  If this happens, you can print at the proper enlargement/
  reduction ratio by printing immediately after setting the
  enlargement/reduction ratio.

- When printing using the page layout function, some
  applications may move data from one page onto the next.
