Windows® 64-bit Drivers
Microsoft’s launch of 64-bit versions of
Windows® XP and Server 2003 has provided a
platform for greater scalability and improved
performance. Positioned as an alternative to
UNIX, 64-bit computing is becoming a force in
Corporate America. Kyocera has responded to
this change in the market by releasing our own
Windows® 64-bit Drivers
for our products,
including the new CS-5050, CS-4050 and
CS-3050 MFPs. These new 64-bit Drivers are
available for PCL or PostScript, enabling IT to
deploy drivers designed for their OS of choice
to the users on the network.
Certified Uni Drivers
The
Certified Uni Drivers
for PCL or
PostScript are also designed for Windows®
environments, such as Terminal Services, or
other Server-Based Computing (SBC) platforms
like CITRIX MetaFrame or Tarantella.
PPDs for Macintosh
While Apple Macintosh® computers will be a
small percentage of computing devices you
encounter, the ability to provide a precise print-
ing solution, for the latest Mac OS’ is a benefit.
Users in a corporate environment who utilize
Macs may be strong influencer for Imaging
product choices inside a company. Mac users
will be especially eager to hear that the
CS-5050, CS-4050 and CS-3050 offer the lat-
est PPDs for Mac OS’ up to and including OS
10.4 (Tiger). Combined with a strong message
about these new Workgroup
MFPs scanning capabilities in a Mac environ-
ment should be a strong argument for placing
any of these new MFPs inside that company.
PPDs for Mac
provide users with control over
advanced printing functions and features such
as duplex and finishing. In addition, job storage
using the new Document Box function is also
available.
PPDs for Linux/UNIX
One of the benefits that providing a PostScript
emulation (KPDL3) as a standard feature of our
print controller on these new models is the abil-
ity to integrate in both Linux and UNIX environ-
ments. Both the Linux open source and UNIX
architectures utilize a PostScript Printer
Definition to enable printing.
For most environments, the
CUPS
(Common
UNIX Print System):
“CUPS provides a portable printing layer for
UNIX®-based operating systems. It is devel-
oped and maintained by Easy Software
Products to promote a standard printing solu-
tion and is the standard printing system in Mac
OS® X and most Linux® distributions.”
(Source: CUPS.org)
Kyocera’s PPD for the CS-5050, CS-4050 and
CS-3050 supports the CUPS print layer, and
integrates seamlessly into these alternative
types of environments.
In addition to CUPS, Kyocera partners with
CodeHost
for the
BrightQ®
solution for Linux
and UNIX printing environments. BrightQ® is a
“windows-like” GUI that gives users an easy to
use interface.
