    9.  Restrictions and Cautions
    ==============================
    Below is the restrictions and cautions for this version.
    Please read through and have well understanding before use.

    <Install, Uninstall>
    Please take care following points when uninstall software under Windows
    Vista/7.

     - StarMicronics folder
       In some cases, even execute uninstaller, following folder do not delete.
           [Start Menu] -> [All Programs] -> [StarMicronics]
           32bit Windows:	C:\Program Files\StarMicronics
           64bit Windows: 	C:\ProgramFiles(x86)-StarMicronics

       It is no problem even that folder do not delete. In case you need to
       delete, please delete folder after to check no files under that folder.

     - The emulation is changing to ESC/POS mode by Dip switch after creating
       'Printer Queue' of Star Line Mode, sometimes printer prints wrong
       character. On that time, please delete the current 'Printer Queue'.
       Or please remove the check of 'Enable bidirectional support' which is
       in 'Port' tab of printer driver's property.

     - Installing this software may fail if Windows Update is installing updates 
       on the computer at the same time as Setup is running.
       To resolve this issue, wait for Windows Updates to finish, and then restart 
       the computer and run setup.


    <Printer Driver>
     - If you have installed only the printer driver, you may observe are error in
       the print job status reading "Error - Printing-" when sending a large amount
       of data.  This message can be ignored as there actually is no real error.
       The print job will be proccessed and executed normally.
    

    <Printer Utility>
      - The printer condition is changing by the printer utility, printer
        should be On-line.

      - When using the printer in ESC/POS mode, the paper low status will
        trigger it to go off line and therefore make the Printer Utility in
        acessible.  Simply change the paper roll or switch to Star mode to
        recover from this error.

 
    <Sound Upload>
     - Under Windows Vista and 7 OS, you cannot use 'Drag and drop' function
       when add the weve data on Sound data file. On that time, please use
       'Add' button to add the wave data on Sound data list.

     - The XML sound file is exporting to PC after edit the sound weve data,
       the sound file is overwrote. But old wave files which was not edited
