Do you know that Fuji Xerox printers offer you four driver types that are compatible with machines running Windows 8 and Windows 10?
As in any other information technology, printing is also constantly undergoing significant changes particularly in Windows 8/10. Customers are being offered a variety of choices of driver types, which are not only suited for different workflows but offer unique set of features. With all of these changes, deciding which print driver to use and understanding how the driver works can be difficult.
Have you found these different types of print drivers and their uses a bit overwhelming or confusing? The following information seeks to address just that, giving you a description of four driver types of Windows 8 and 10.
V3 and V4 Drivers
Introduced with Windows 2000, printing with v3 drivers from the desktop applications remains the same as the windows 7 print experience. Modern applications allow for printing using v3 drivers. The feature set available when printing from a Modern App is condensed to maximise use from Windows 8 touch-enabled devices. V4 print driver is a driver for Windows 8.1 onwards, which is a refinement of the existing v3 printer driver model. It was designed to improve driver development, reduce IT management costs, and support new updates software.
Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD)
The Xerox Global Print Driver is a universal printer driver that allows printing on any printers, including those that have been made by other manufacturers. This driver was created to work with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Server 2003 and Server 2008. Printing from the Xerox Global Print Driver is identical to the Windows 7 set up. The driver continues to be used as an option for printing.
Class Driver
The Class Driver presents a new method of printing with simpler set of features. Class Drivers are included with Windows 8/10 and Windows RT tablets as a part of the operating system. Because they are readily available and do not require downloading, class drivers can offer a quick and convenient install result. Class drivers are available for many latest Xerox printers that offer PS, PCL6, and/or XPS printing capabilities.
These drivers offer a basic feature set and the user experience resembles very simple drivers that do not have a customized User Interface.
