Instructions for Use (Printer Driver)
This printer driver is subject to the following restrictions. Keep the following points in mind when using

may not operate correctly.
If this happens, open the printer driver setup screen from the Print dialog box of the application

With some applications, the Copies setting in the Page Setup tab of the printer driver may not be
enabled.
In this case, use the copies setting in the Print dialog box of the application software.
