About This Driver
This is a generic printer driver that supports various devices. You can use the same driver for all printer models
by changing the settings for the printing port and device information.
Features
●Information regarding the functions and options of the device are collectively dened in a "conguration
prole." By switching "conguration proles," you can switch the driver settings screen to match the
functions of the device.
●You do not need to reinstall the driver when you add or replace a device.
Utilizing Conguration Proles
Conguration proles corresponding to each printer model have been prepared beforehand. You can
customize and use a conguration prole corresponding to your printer operation management.
By applying a conguration prole to the driver, the settings in the [Device Settings] sheet can be changed and
the functions specic to the device can be set. You can also export and save the function and option settings for
the device in the [Device Settings] sheet as a conguration prole.
Examples of How to Utilize Conguration Proles
●Making a driver settings screen for the printer model you are using
When you can acquire the printer model information from the device, a conguration prole is applied
automatically and the settings screen changes to match the device. When you cannot acquire the information,
apply a conguration prole manually.
●Eciently conguring driver settings for multiple computers
You can export and save the device function and options settings of the [Device Settings] sheet as a
conguration prole. The device information of drivers used in other computers can be easily batch set by
importing the exported conguration prole.
If you cannot acquire the device information, you can apply it by importing a conguration prole exported in
an environment where the information could be acquired.

●When using this driver, the following restrictions apply.
- In order to set and print with the functions supported by the printer model you are using, you need to set
a conguration prole suitable for the printer model and set the option status of the device. You can
congure these settings in the [Device Settings] sheet.
- If you set functions in the driver that are not available for the device you are using, it may result in
unintended print results.
- If you specify color printing for a black and white printer, the print data will be output in black and white,
but the print quality may deteriorate and printing may take some time.
- If you set functions that are not supported by this driver on the control panel of the device you are using,
those functions are enabled when printing.
- Depending on the combination of the device and options you are using, you may not be able to identify

- The rmware version of the device
- The option structure
- The driver version
- The computer environment you are using
●When printing from a Windows Store app, because you cannot display the print settings screen of the driver,
