  • Notes for Mac Driver 3.2
    Notes for Mac Driver 3.2 June 26, 2014 General Known Issues 1. Issue: Due to an OS limitation, waste toner status shows as unknown. Solution: Check the device for the actual status of the waste toner. 2. Issue: Output appears pixelated when printing from InDesign CS4. Solution: Adobe recommends placing instead of pasting graphics into InDesign and checking your print settings to make sure graphics are printing properly. In the Graphics section of the Print dialog box, choose Send Data > All. 3. Issue: Error “Incorrect account ID” is displayed on the front panel if printing from QuarkXpress 7.3 or later. Solution: Install Quark® CUPS Filter from Quark’s support website. 4. Issue: Watermark may not print correctly in some devices. Solution: Change the Watermark option from “Transparent” to “Stamp”. 5. Issue: Watermark characters may appear as “◻” when printing some PDF documents. Solution: Use a different font for the Watermark text. 6. Issue: Using both N-up and Watermark/Stamp repeat at the same time may significantly reduce printing speed. Solution: Avoid using both settings at the same time. 7. Issues: Driver constraint information is displayed as a pop-up in some Mac OS X versions. Alert message text is generated by OS. 8. Issue: Paper size name changes in OS X 10.7 (by the OS), “Envelope #6” shows as “Personal” and “Statement” shows as “Invoice”. On minor version up, it appears that “Invoice” was reverted to “Statement”. 9. Issue: Mixed orientation file is treated as separate file when Booklet option is applied. 10. Issue: It is possible for multiple applications to open the Account ID List window at the same time which introduces a race condition where multiple applications are allowed to modify the same Account ID List and one will end up over-writing the other’s changes.

If you purchased your new computer through CODAR, it will already be configured in this manner. If you are configuring a SeaSonde computer on your own, it is critical that you follow these steps for proper system operation and so that we may continue to support your systems in a timely and efcient manner. Note: This document assumes that you are setting up a new Mac computer with OS X 10.11 or upgrading to OS X 10.11. Most of the steps will apply for previous versions of OS X, but some of the System Preference panes may be slightly diferent. # New System Configuration Follow the steps below to configure the computer when first turned on or system has been upgraded. Turn On your computer. If no user account exists or this is a brand new computer, El Capitan will begin initial setup and first asks to select the country desired. CODAR suggests using United States to facilitate remote support. # Select the appropriate keyboard and click the 'Continue' button. Note: Please select a English keyboard. We can’t provide efective remote support if your computer is set to use non-English keyboard. Select the way the computer will connect to the Internet.

Al-Daraiseh 3 and Wathiq Mansoor 4 1 Riyadh Techno Valley, King Saud University, P.O. Box 3966, Riyadh 12373-8383, Saudi Arabia 2 FARCAMT CHAIR, Advanced Manufacturing Institute, King Saud University, Riyadh 11421, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] (M.H.A.); [email protected] (S.H.M.) 3 College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh 11421, Saudi Arabia; [email protected] 4 Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Dubai, Dubai 14143, United Arab Emirates; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +966-114693055 Academic Editor: Subhas Mukhopadhyay Received: 23 May 2016; Accepted: 22 July 2016; Published: 29 July 2016 Abstract: (1) Background: A disabled student or employee in a certain university faces a large number of obstacles in achieving his/her ordinary duties. An interactive smart search and communication application can support the people at the university campus and Science Park in a number of ways. Primarily, it can strengthen their professional network and establish a responsive eco-system. Therefore, the objective of this research work is to design and implement a unified flexible and adaptable interface. This interface supports an intensive search and communication tool across the university. It would benefit everybody on campus, especially the People with Disabilities (PWDs). (2) Methods: In this project, three main contributions are presented: (A) Assistive Technology (AT) software design and implementation (based on user- and technology-centered design); (B) A wireless sensor network employed to track and determine user’s location; and (C) A novel event behavior algorithm and movement direction algorithm used to monitor and predict users’ behavior and intervene with them and their caregivers when required.
