4-2-1. Common Notice for All Applications

Color Mode / Color Space:

GT-541 Printer is RGB (Red Green Blue) printer.. If you use Adobe, Corel applications, please note that some colors in CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow Black) mode cannot be printed as expected because of the color matching process.. We strongly recommend that the artwork should be made in RGB mode and working space should be always "sRGB IEC61966-2.1".

Print Layout:

Your printer has a large print area 14x 16 inches (35 x 40 cm), Any application has a rule to do the layout in printing, e.g. Microsoft Internet Explore sets the artwork at the center top, Microsoft Power Point does at the center middle. The GT-541 Printer does not have Letter or A4 paper size. To avoid this issue, please set the paper size as 14x 16 inches (35 x 40 cm) and do the layout manually by yourself.

We recommend that GT-541 Printer should be your PC's default printer.

Print Cancel:

Your printer does not start printing until you press the Print Button; The printer memory only holds one print job data at any time.

<Important!>

Do not use canceling command from “Printer and Faxes (for Windows XP)” / “Printers (for Windows 2000, Vista)” / "Devices and Printers (Windows 7)" in “Control Panel”. Doing so causes an error and you may have to restart your printer.

Print ARP files:

Use “GT-541 FileOutput” Printer Driver, which saves print data in ARP format. With this you can see the detailed print conditions and estimated ink cost. See “5. Printing ARP Files.” for the details.

<Important!>

Do not use “Print to File” command in the applications’ Print window.

<Note>

The settings of printer driver may be applied for one print; it depends on the application.

The settings made with Control Panel of your PC sometimes may not be applied to the application. If so, make the settings again in the menu of printer driver; these are applied to the actual settings.
