Restrictions

Note that there are following restrictions when using printer driver. Refer to the suggestions for each restriction. (highlighted yellow)


[IP48Win][IP85Win]
If the different firmware type of the IP48Win/IP85Win printer is connected to the PC running in WindowsXP environment, it will be detected by its Plug&Play function.
Even if you reinstall the printer driver, a new printer driver would not be introduced, and you can continue using the original printer driver. The reinstallation only updates the printer firmware information within the printer driver.
If the printer connected to the PC running Windows has a different firmware version than the printer for which the original printer driver was installed, Windows would concider the printer as new, and require Plug&Play installation. This happens because Windows checks the printer firmware's version each time it detects a SCSI printer. In such case, reinstall the printer driver.

[IP6500]
Printing from Windows Printer Driver to the IPP Port of the print server installed in the IP6500 is not possible.
This is due to the reason that the Language Monitor is not used when IPP is selected within the Windows.

[IP48Win][IP85Win]
Thermal head check function is not available from printer driver's property.
However, printer has an atutomatic self-diagnosis for thermal head when turning on the power switch of the printer. Or, use test print to check the thermal head.
