Note

  • You cannot partially embed texts and patterns strings in a document.

  • Due to the effects of the settings, the results of copying, scanning, and saving documents in the document server may vary depending on the machine model and setting conditions.

  • When copying a printed document on which an unauthorized copy prevention pattern has been applied, the copy may have partial shading. If this happens, change the original type setting on the machine you are using to make copies to [Text] or [Photo].

  • For the settings that can be specified in the printer driver, see the printer driver Help.
