3. Install notes
Run setup.exe in disk1 on each Operating System.

 always select the replace option.

4. Notes regarding printing

1) Setting Up Drivers From Within Applications 
Print setup is not available from within some applications. Setting up print conditions for the driver from 
these applications will have no effect on printing.
If using applications that do not support print setup,  print only after set the driver print conditions on the Control Panel.

2) Zoom Options Printing
The edges of the original may not be printed in the Zoom Options modes. 
Make sure that sufficient space is available for the left, right, top and bottom margins when printing in these modes.

3) Some applications may not produce the desired print results.
Changing the print mode with the printer driver may produce the desired results in such cases.
To change the print mode:
    1. Click [Start] on the task bar, select [Settings(S)], and then select [Printers(P)]. 
    2. Click the icon of the printer to be altered, and select [Properties(R)] from the [File(F)] menu.
    3. Click the [Basic Settings] tab and select [Advanced(N)]. Select the [More Settings(O)] button,
     and click it to open the [Advanced Settings] dialog box.
    4. Select the desired mode from the [Printing Mode(P)] list in the [Advanced Settings] dialog box.

If you don't obtain the desired print results in the High Speed mode, select the High Quality mode or the CRT mode.

* Gradations of color may not be match the screen with some graphics-based applications. 
In such cases, changing from Automatic to other settings in the Color Adjustment in  [Advanced Settings] dialog box 
may produce the desired result.
To change the Color Adjustment, open the [Advanced Settings] dialog box as described above, and select the method from [Mode(M)].

* When using the various font modification functions in word processor applications select [Print TrueType fonts as bitmap(N)] 
on the [Optional Setting] tab in the printer driver.

* If you have problems with output from Adobe applications, turn Adobe Type Manager off, and print again.  

(4) Euro Symbol Printing
The printer driver supports Euro Symbol with the following internal printer fonts;
    Courier SWC
    Dutch 801 SWM   
    Swiss 721 SWM
    Dutch 801 SWC
    Zapf Humanist 601 SWC
    Ribbon 131 SWC
    Clarendon Condensed SWC
    Swiss 742 SWC
    Swiss 742 Condensed SWC
    Incised 901 SWC
    Original Garamond SWC
    Audrey Two SWC
    Flareserif 821 SWC
    Flareserif 821 Extra Bold SWC
    Letter Gothic SWC
If you have problems print in Euro Symbols, check the Font Substitution Table in the Font TAB of the printer driver and the printer's firmware version. 
You can print Euro Symbols without using internal printer fonts if you have screen fonts which support the Euro Symbol in your system. 
To do that, change "TrueType fonts with substitution" to "Print TrueType fonts as bitmap" in the Font TAB of the printer driver before you print.
