●For information on your operating system, please refer to your operating system manual or the online Help
function.
●The explanations of screens and procedures in a Windows environment are primarily for Windows®XP. The
screens may vary depending on the version of the operating system or the software application.
●The explanations of screens and procedures in a Macintosh environment are based on Mac OS X v10.4 in the
case of Mac OS X, and on Mac OS 9.2.2 in the case of Mac OS 9. The screens may vary depending on the
version of the operating system or the software application.
