• ISSUE (External): The watermark does not print on all copies when First Page
Only is selected.
DESCRIPTION: The problem occurs when printing from Microsoft Word
2000 using a PS driver installed with Windows 2000 or Windows XP, and
the option to collate is selected both in Word and on the Advanced tab of
the driver. When set to print on the first page only, and more than one
copy is being printed, the watermark prints only on the first page of the
first copy. The watermark does not print on the first page of subsequent
copies. When printing from Microsoft Word 2000 using a PS driver
installed with the Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me operating
systems, there is no workaround.
WORKAROUND: When printing from Microsoft Word 2000 using a PS
driver installed with Windows 2000, select Collate in the Advanced tab
on the driver, but make sure that the option to collate is not selected in
Word. To make sure that the collate option is not selected, click File, and
then click Print.
