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... on the Device Settings tab.

Compatibility settings are specified when:

• printing from applications that save paper source information within documents

• the paper source settings are specified by your system environment.

properties page. Auto Configure keeps the printer driver’s Device settings consistent with the
actual printer devices.

Auto Configure currently supports these ports for Windows operating systems:

• Windows 98 & ME – KPrint ports (Raw mode, LPR, and IPP) only

• Windows NT 4.0 – KPrint ports (Raw mode, LPR, and IPP) only
