Driver Profiler

The Driver Profiler program and printer drivers located on the Drivers and Utilities CD are used to create
driver profiles that contain custom driver settings. A driver profile can contain a group of saved printer driver
settings and other data for things such as:

Print orientation and N-Up (document settings)

Installation status of an output tray (printer options)

User-defined paper sizes (custom papers)

Simple text and watermarks

Overlay references

Font references

Form associations

Profiles are stored in Driver Configuration Files (DCF). The individual profiles inside the DCF are identified by
a short description. During installation, the user can point to the DCF that contains the profiles to use when
creating a customized printer object.

A DCF can contain profiles for any number of printer models and any number of different drivers (PostScript
or PCL, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows NT® 4.0, or Windows XP). Profiles
can be added to an existing DCF by specifying an existing configuration file in the Driver Profiler when
creating a profile. New profiles are always appended to an existing configuration file. No two profiles in the
same DCF can have the same short description.

Fonts

Screen Fonts are fonts you install in Windows to match your printer scalable resident fonts. Selecting
resident printer fonts improves printing performance. The screen fonts allow the documents displayed on the
computer screen to match the output from your printer. When you install the screen fonts, you will have
access to the full set of resident printer fonts by Windows programs for PCL emulation. Choose your printer
model when prompted, and the program automatically installs the TrueType® screen fonts for your printer
in Windows.

Your printer also has five bar code fonts:

OCR-A

OCR-B

C39 Narrow (3 of 9)

C39 Regular (3 of 9)
