Auto-Configuring Driver
During installation, the bi-directional communication between the driver and a printer connected to a
network identifies the printer’s configuration and the features available with the configuration, such as
automatic 2-sided printing capability, additional trays, or a hard drive. The controls for settings, such as
2-sided printing, tray selection, and secure printing are displayed or hidden/unavailable, and the mimic
displays the correct printer configuration. This driver feature prevents users from making incorrect
selections during installation.
Global Print Driver
This driver enables printing from a PC to any Xerox PostScript-enabled printer. It configures itself for
your individual printer upon installation.
