Custom Installation

Custom Mode is an option to install utilities. You can specify the printer port, fonts, and the utilities you want to install.

Printer drivers that ship with Windows operating systems are called minidrivers. The minidriver is available separately for PCL and KPDL and provides basic support for your printer.

The KX XPS DRIVER and XPS minidriver is only available for printing systems used with Windows 7 and Windows Vista. The XPS driver is discussed in the Device Settings chapter. Minidriver functionality is not documented in this user guide.
