6 Precautions for Use

6.1 Warnings for Printer Driver Settings

(1) Do not select the [Hold mismatched documents] checkbox in the [Advanced] tab. Otherwise, the

message "Invalid print setting" is displayed (in the status on the spooler) and the document cannot be printed.

(2) To use a USB connection to connect two or more of this model of printer:

To add more printers, follow these steps to install the printer driver:

1. Set [Serial No] to “Enable” when adding each printer.

2. Install the printer driver again.

* The printer setup can be performed from the utility. Please see "Utility User's Guide" for

information on how to use the utility. See "2. Installation" of "Printer Driver Installation Guide" for information on how to install the printer driver.

6.2 Application Warnings

(1) If printing a document from application software designed for a different version of the Windows

operating system, the printout may be different to that version of Windows.

(2) Depending on the application that you use, the document may not be printed properly if you

decrease the margin. In the case of the printer driver’s default paper sizes, set the margins to values greater than those shown below. For custom paper sizes, set the margin when you define the custom paper size.

Orientation: Portrait Orientation: Landscape

Paper Size

80 x 297 mm (48 column) 3.0 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.0 3.0 80 x 297 mm (42 column) 8.0 8.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 8.0 8.0 58 x 297 mm (35 column) 3.0 2.5 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 2.5 3.0 58 x 297 mm (32 column) 5.0 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 5.0 5.0

(3) If you want to print multiple copies, select the collate checkbox. Depending on the application that

you use, the document may not be printed properly if you clear the collate checkbox. For applications (such as Microsoft Excel) that print multiple copies by creating m ultiple print jobs, the [End of Document]-[Paper Cut] setting may not work correctly.

(4) If using this printer driver to collate copies, the maximum number allowed in the application is

"999." To set a higher number, print the job multiple times.

6.3 Bar Code and 2D Code Warnings

(1) The bar code fonts provided by the printer driver are defined as printer fonts. These printer fonts

may not appear in the font list of some applications. In this case, you can still print bar codes by using the [Replacement Font] setting to specify substitution of a Windows font with a bar code font.

(2) If an application has a font substitution function, the bar code font may be replaced by a different

font in the application.

(3) A bar code may not be printed if it exceeds the print area for the specified paper due to the

settings (narrow bar or rotation, etc.), position, o r number of characters. Check th e printed result to set the values.

(4) Do not apply effects (such as bold, italic or outline) when using bar code font s. Note that the bar

code is not printed properly for vertical or wrapped text.

(5) The printed bar code is not displayed on the application screen.

- Adjust the position to avoid the bar code or 2D code from overlapping the neighboring characters.

- The same bar code or 2D code cannot be printed repeatedly on the same line.

(6) Some applications do not send 2- or 1-byte spaces at the end of strings to the printer driver

correctly. If 2- or 1-byte space is specified at the end of the string from an application, the bar code may not print as expected.

(7) Restrictions for 2D codes

- Depending on the application, 2-byte spaces in the specified string are printed as 1-byte spaces.

(8) Bar code and 2D code data

- If the number of characters in the bar code text is invalid (too many or too few), it is not printed.

- The following table lists the available character set s and string lengths for bar codes and 2D codes.

6.4 Other Notes

(1) If you “cancel” a print job while printing from the printer port, please turn the printer off and on

again. If you resume printing a document without restarting the printer, problems such as incorrect print out may occur .

(2) If you change the port settings in print properties, please restart the computer. If you skip the

restart, "Not Available" will be displayed on the spooler and problems such as the print job not completing may occur.

(3) Problems such as failure to print correctly from the OPOS(JavaPOS) driver may occur if the

Windows driver and OPOS(JavaPOS) driver are both installed in the same system. In this case, it is recommended that you uninstall the driver that is not being used.

(4) When printing to multiple printers from a single PC, the printing might not operate correctly

depending on the OS standard TCP/IP port.If this happens, set the bidirectional communi cation function in the printer driver to disabled before printing.

(5) If the printer is turned off in the middle of printing, printing might not automatically resume when

the printer is turned on. If this happens, delete the print job data from the printer spooler and then execute the printing again.
