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.

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

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.
