Introduction 6 Printer Driver Configuration Utility Use the Printer Driver Configuration Utility to create driver configurations. A driver configuration is a group of saved print driver settings and other data that is stored in a Driver Configuration File (DCF). A driver configuration contains settings such as print orientation and pages per sheet (Document Settings), and installation status of a two‑sided printing unit or a bin (Printer Options). You can also create driver configurations that work across printer models. The Printer Driver Configuration lets you: • Configure a printer object when installing it. • Configure multiple printer objects, each with unique settings, for the same print driver (also referred to as the creation of virtual printer objects). • View or edit an existing configuration. Note: The DCF name must have an extension of .ldc.
