In most cases, software used by the driver, including an mDNS responder such as
Bonjour
®
, and Microsoft components such as the XPS framework, are not
updated.
Upgrades and Printer Options
Printer upgrades and options add functionality to your printer. Upgrades come
with installation instructions and are designed to be installed by trained service
providers. Printer options are usually installed by operators.
Depending on the printer, the following upgrades and printer options are
available:
• Magnetic Stripe Field Upgrade
• Smart Card Field Upgrade
• High-Capacity Output Hopper Option (see “How
to Install a Large Output Hopper”)
• 200-Card Input Hopper Option (see “How to
Install the 200-Card Input Hopper Option”)
• Lock Option (see “Install the Lock Option”)
Deviations
Deviations are specially adapted products, created as a special-order. Most often,
the driver or the firmware is deviated; sometimes the hardware (printer) is also
changed. If you have a deviated driver, firmware or printer, be very careful about
updating the driver or firmware. A deviated driver or firmware will have a
version number with “d” near the end, similar to the following:
Firmware Version: 1.3.d1
Driver Version: 1.0.d2
Always check with your service provider to determine whether to install the
update. Do not update until you are sure that the update supports the special
features of your product.
Deviations might be called by a different name in your organization. Other
names might include RPQ, custom, or special. RPQ stands for Request for Price
Quotation, which is one of the first steps in developing an agreement to create the
deviated product.
