5 Limitations
Printing with the AutoCAD 2006 HDI Driver:

print properly. By default, this setting is disabled. Please refer to the online help for this driver for
further information.
Online Help availability:
The online help features of the Postscript driver, Wide Format Scan Service, and Network TWAIN
clients are not yet available.
Printing with the PostScript Driver:
•If a media source (example: Roll 1) is specified, the auto rotate and auto scaling features are
disabled.
•Automatic roll switching is not enabled.
•PostScript Custom Page Sizes must be defined as Short Edge First.
Print Services on Web:
Internet Explorer version 6.0 is required. Print Service on Web pages may not be displayed as
expected with other internet browsers.
Printing with the Windows Driver:
•Installing the Windows Driver remotely on a Windows 2000 client PC may not work as
expected. Installing Adobe Reader 7 or Windows Media Player 9 will load a .dll file that is
missing from the Windows 2000 client.
•When printing from AutoCAD, fine diagonal lines may have small breaks. The HDI driver will
yield better results.
•Driver preferences cannot be changed in a Windows 2003 Clustered Server environment.

advanced printing feature “Print as Image”. This will correct the problem and allow for output
which is complete.
