# Other important points

Some setting in follows depends on your printer/MFP.

## [OS/Windows Related Issues]

- UDP port 49999 is required for bidirectional communication between the driver and printer. Please do not close this port.

## [Driver Setting Related Issues]

- Some applications add an extra page to the end of odd-paged duplex jobs. The added page might be incremented in the printer's counter.
- Paper types that must be set in a unique direction in the tray (opposite direction than usual), such as envelopes or prepunched paper, might be printed in 180 degree rotation. To change the direction, please use "Rotated by 180 degrees".
- If the printer driver's printer name or the port name is very long, some application software may be terminated when the printer is selected or the printing is started. In order to avoid this problem using a port or driver name of more than 32 characters is not recommended.
- IPP ports should connect to "http://[Printer's IP Address]/ipp/port1" or "http://[Printer's IP Address]/printer".

## [Printing Issue]

- The printing speed of some paper types will not be increased by the "Speed" setting (Print Quality tab > Gradation > Speed). These paper types include:
  - Thick 1
  - Thick 2
  - Bond
  - Cardstock
  - Labels
  - Envelope

## [B/W print with CMYK setting Issue]

- If the "Color/ Black and White" setting is "Color" some purely BW objects might be printed using CMYK toners (composite black). If the "Color/ Black and White" setting = "Black and White", all objects will be printed using K toner (pure black) only.
