IMPORTANT
a. If the printer driver was installed on Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 logged on by a user who is a member of Administrators, it cannot be uninstalled from the computer logged on by anyone other than users who are members of Administrators. Be sure to log on as a member of Administrators before the uninstallation.
b. If the manuals are installed, the installed manuals also can be uninstalled by uninstalling the CAPT software using the Uninstaller.
c. If you are using a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 or another operating system equipped with Windows Firewall, the printer is registered in the [Exceptions] sheet in the [Windows Firewall] dialog box. When you uninstall the CAPT software using the uninstaller, the settings for this printer are also removed from the [Exceptions] sheet in the [Windows Firewall] dialog box.
