         Appeal No. 2006-1732                                                       
         Application No. 10/033,622                                                 
                                                                                   
         designation of printer driver) and S404 (i.e., are mounted head            
         and head setting of printer driver different?) in Figures 42, 49           
         and 54, respectively.  We additionally agree with the examiner’s           
         finding (answer, page 4) that Moro describes a step of “providing          
         notification to a user that a selected print driver setting may            
         result in an adverse printing result” in step S284 (i.e., display          
         fact that paper is different) and an error dialog box to notify            
         the user that a paper mismatch exists (Figure 41).  A second               
         error dialog box (Figure 48) notifies the user that a color                
         cartridge has not been installed for a selected color-printing             
         mode in step S354 (i.e., present display to achieve conformity             
         with printing method of mounted head).                                     
              In response to the examiner’s contentions (answer, page 4)            
         that print quality would be adversely affected by the above-noted          
         erroneous print settings, the appellant argues (brief, page 9)             
         that a mismatch in paper size “may result in the hard copy                 
         printed being the wrong size and, potentially, the print data not          
         being properly centered on the page, [but] such a paper size               
         mismatch would not affect print quality.”  Appellant also argues           









                                         4
