Compatibility Settings

This feature allows you to change values for media sources, such as cassettes or the MultiPurpose Feeder, so that the Kyocera Extended Driver is compatible with previous drivers of other manufacturers or older Kyocera printers. This alignment of old and new media sources allows all macros created under previous drivers to maintain compatibility under the new Kyocera Extended Driver.

You can use the Driver Info utility, available on the Kyocera Software Library CD, to compare the source values for all installed drivers. If the values for a given media source differ, reassign the value in the new driver to match the value in the previous driver.

Compatibility settings can be adjusted by clicking Compatibility settings are specified when:

• printing from applications that save paper source information within documents
