Driver)

Page 16 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

b) Using the printer driver installed on the XenApp server (local printer)

c) Using the client’s printer driver that is being shared from a print server: Auto-Create

Printer (NPD)

Page 17 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

d) Using a printer driver that is being shared by a print server using a policy (Session

Printer)

e) Using a printer driver that is always shared by a print server

Ricoh does not officially support the following printing methods:

Page 18 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

Printing using Citrix UPD is not supported officially because the Citrix UPD is not a driver
created by Ricoh. The Citrix UPD uses EMF data. EMF data can cause a variety of errors,
depending on the application used to print. In addition, if a Citrix client has drivers that were
installed via point and print, changes made to the Citrix UPD settings might not take effect.

Not using a print server:

• Using the printer driver installed on the client: Auto-Create Printer (Citrix UPD)

Using a print server:

• Using the client’s printer driver that is being shared from a print server: Auto-Create

Printer (Citrix UPD)

Known issues and Limitation:

• The Citrix replication function, which replicates driver files on another server, is not

supported. Please manually install the printer driver on each server.

• Device Option Utility is not supported for use with any version of the PCL6 Driver for

Universal Print

• Some driver settings from the client PC may not be inherited by the auto-created printer

(such as Job Type settings, paper size, output tray, etc.). This primarily occurs when the
Citrix server is x64 and the client is x86 or vice-versa.

1-6 Supported Models (PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v3.13.0.0)

The PCL6 Driver for Universal Print supports not only “Model Specific” mode but also “Generic
Model” mode. Supported models are dependent on each mode. For details about “Generic Model”
mode, please see the section “9-1. ‘Generic Model’ mode”.

3. Supported Windows architecture

• Printer Driver Isolation

• Package awareness

3-1 Printer Driver Isolation

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v3.4.0.0 or later supports Print Driver Isolation. Printer Driver
Isolation allows the driver to run completely separate of the spooler. This makes an individual
driver less likely to crash the spooler and prevent all drivers from printing.

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print uses Isolation mode by default. When first installed, the driver’s
isolation mode will be “Shared”, but this can be changed after installation.

Configuration (Windows Server 2008 R2)
Start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager > Roles > Print and Document Services > Print
Management > Print Servers > Server Name > Drivers
Right-click a driver > Set Driver Isolation

Configuration (Windows 7)
Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Administrative Tools > Print Management >
Custom Filters > All Drivers
Right-click a driver > Set Driver Isolation

Page 26 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

3-2 Package awareness

PCL6 driver for Universal Print v3.8.0.0 or later is Package Aware. An explanation of Package
Awareness can be found on the MS website. The purpose of making our driver package aware was
to prevent users from being prompted to login when they install the driver.

Page 27 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

4. Driver Customization

The PCL6 Driver for Universal Print can be customized to change the default settings, lock or
limit settings, and adjust other options. This customization can be implemented by using the
Printer Driver Packager NX. However, the initial version of Printer Driver Packager NX will not
support the ability to edit RCF files.

5-2 Bi-directional communication

5-2-1 What is bidirectional communication?

Bidirectional communication automatically sets up installed options and paper settings to make
the driver ready to use. The driver sends an SNMP query to the printer and gets a reply from the
printer that includes the necessary information to automatically configure the settings.

• Paper

o Paper sizes and types in the trays
o Installed trays

• Accessories

o Installed options

• Job Types

o Supported Job Types

• Color/BW

o Type of device (Black & White or Color)

5-2-2 Requirements:

Ports Supported for Bi-directional Communication

• Standard TCP/IP port

o The SNMP community name used by Standard TCP/IP ports is “public” but can be

changed.

• PrinterSwitcher port

o PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v2.0.0.0 or later only

• Smart Device Monitor for Client port

• Novel iPrint Server port

o PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v3.5.0.0 or later only
o If using v3.5.0.0, the SNMP community name should be “public”.
o If using v3.6.0.0 or later, the SNMP community name can be changed as long as

the Novel iPrint client is v5.60 or later.

5-2-3 When Bi-directional communication will occur:

v3.13.0.0 or earlier

• After Printer Properties or Printing Preferences is opened.

• After the Update Now button in the Accessories tab is clicked.

V4.0.0.0 or later

• After Printer Properties is opened.

• After the Update Now button in the Accessories tab is clicked.

Page 40 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

By default, our Universal Driver will automatically establish bi-directional communication with
the connected device. This allows the driver to automatically determine which options have been
installed and which U/I to display to users.

5-2-4 UI Selection via bi-directional communication

“auto” is selected in the selected model

Flowchart:

NOTES:

If the driver cannot connect to network device, the last model will be used.

Page 41 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

“Generic Models” is selected in the selected models

Flowchart:

*Occasionally, some accessories options might be obtained correctly, but this behavior cannot be
supported.

NOTES:

If the driver cannot connect to a network device:

• Case 1: If the user has not changed the selected model, the last setting will be used.

• Case 2: If the user has changed the selected model from model-specific to Generic Mode

models, then all options will be enabled in the Generic Model mode UI.

Page 42 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

5-2-5 Configuration on the Novell iPrint server:

The following steps are for v3.6.0.0 or later versions of the PCL6 driver for Universal Print.

1. Access Novell iManager > iPrint > Manage Printer > Configuration > Gateway

2. Add or edit “GETCOMMUNITYSTRING=XXXX” in the “Gateway autoload command”
box.

3. XXXX = the SNMP Community Name

NOTES:

• iPrint Client ver.5.60 or later must be used in order to establish bidirectional
communication using an SNMP community name other than “public”.

• PCL6 driver for Universal Print v3.4.0.0 or earlier drivers installed using iPrint are not
able to establish bi-directional communication.

• PCL6 driver for Universal Print v3.5.0.0 always uses the SNMP community name
“public”. This cannot be changed.

5-2-6 Disabling automatic bi-directional communication

Bi-directional communication might not be necessary for users that always connect to the same
device. Such users might prefer to disable bi-directional communication in order to reduce
network traffic and decrease driver response time.

Page 43 of 87

PCL6 Driver for Universal Print ver 4.0.0

Note:
Even if “Automatically Update Printer Information” is unchecked, bi-directional communication
can be established manually using the “Update Now” button.
Unchecking “Automatically Update Printer Information” is not recommend if the driver is to be
used with PrinterSwitcher. Doing so could result in unexpected driver behavior and print output.

Configuring disabling automatic bi-directional communication

Uncheck “Automatically Update Printer Information” in the Accessories tab. v3.3.0.0 or later
version of PCL6 Driver for Universal Print is supported disabling.

9-4 Printer Driver Packager NX

9-4-1 Overview

Printer Driver Packager NX provides printer driver customization and printer driver packaging
functionality.

The functionality of the customization can be used to modify the driver to fit specific needs and
uses. By using Printer Driver Packager NX, driver settings can be assigned specific default
values, be locked to certain values, or have some of the options for a setting removed. The Printer
Driver Packager NX also has a pop-up function. It can be used, for example, to force users to enter
their user ID into a pop-up dialog window before printing.

In addition, Printer Driver Packager NX makes a new driver package without the driver losing
its WHQL certification.

Note: The initial version of Printer Driver Packager NX will not support the customization
function with the PCL6 Driver for Universal Print.

The following is an example of assigning specific default values or locking certain values:
