Introduction 5 Enables increased user efficiency The Lexmark Universal Print Drivers use the same graphical user interface as the product-specific drivers the users are accustomed to. Now all queues will share that same interface, decreasing calls to the help desk. Users can create and save profiles for their most frequently used settings, or use profiles that were created for them by system support. Facilitates corporate sustainability initiatives Administrators can use the Lexmark Universal Print Drivers to promote their organization's environmental policies. The default queue settings can be modified to include two‑sided printing, multiple‑page printing (NUp), toner darkness, and other resource-saving measures. New Features Global print support Lexmark Universal Print Driver (UPD) is now capable of providing print support to other manufacturers' devices that support compliant PostScript® and PCL® emulation page description languages (PDLs). This reduces the overhead of administrators and enables a single Lexmark UPD to work with all Lexmark and compatible non‑Lexmark devices in an enterprise environment. Two new models are available in the model list in the driver properties: • Basic Color Laser-Allows compatible non‑Lexmark devices to use the Lexmark UPD for basic color printing. • Basic Mono Laser-Allows compatible non‑Lexmark devices to use the Lexmark UPD for basic black‑and‑white printing. Not all Lexmark printer and non‑Lexmark device features, functions, and capabilities are available with the use of Basic Color Laser and Basic Mono Laser models. Depending on the capabilities of the specific non‑Lexmark device, only basic features are supported. These features include, but are not limited to, the following: • Some paper sizes and types • Some source selections • Two‑sided printing • Paper layout options New user interface The new user interface of the UPD provides a more consistent look and feel across all printer models. The controls and settings have been modified to provide better language support and overall customer experience. The UPD is available in more languages. The user interface matches the language of your operating system. Administrators can also manually choose a specific language from the Configuration tab in the Printer Properties dialog. Custom installation package With the new UPD installer, administrators can choose to create preconfigured installation packages that include only the software and drivers that meet their needs. Combining the custom installation package with Driver Configuration Files (DCFs) lets administrators create a deployment package that best suits their environment.
