INTRODUCTION

The Samsung Universal Print Driver(UPD) is a single driver that can be used for different printer models. If you install only one Universal Print Driver, you can access any Samsung printer which is supported by UPD. UPD gives the user instant access to not only Samsung printer devices, but also

other vendor’s PDL devices(*) without installing separate drivers.

(*)Samsung does not guarantee print quality or feature compatibility.

UPD first released in 2009. It has been upgraded to give the users more useful features and compatible with users’ IT environments. “Samsung Universal Print Driver 2” (UPD2) has released in 2013.

Driver Types

There are 4 types of Samsung Universal Print Driver 2, which are up to PDL type.

- All types are Microsoft certified.

What’s New

- Faster And Simpler Device Discovery o UPD2 gives the user faster printer discovery and supports flexible configuration

of the devices. It reflects the configuration on the UI dynamically and instantly.

o In the case of non-SNMP communication environment where automatic discovery

is invalid, UPD2 now supports manual printer selection so that a wider range of user can use UPD2 without any environmental restriction.

- Lighter And More Reliable Driver Operation by On-the-fly UI o UPD2 has improved and simplified UI design. When the user selects their own

preferred printer, UI layout and device configuration (options) of the printer are shown on-the-fly.

o Giving lighter and more reliable driver’s UI operation to the users, UPD2 no

longer pop-ups the window when opening driver’s UI by separating UPD applications.

- Support Model’s Full Features o Users can use the same full features as model-specific print drivers with UPD2.

Manual Duplex and Special Pages (including Cover Page, Insert Pages and Exception Pages) are now newly supported.
