Upgrading the Windows NT PostScript Driver

Caution:

To successfully upgrade the NT driver, you must follow the steps in this document precisely. Otherwise, the driver will not function properly.

Purpose

Two outstanding issues with the NT PostScript print driver for the DC 220/230 family of printers are:

•Upgrading the driver to a newer version

•Changing server driver defaults from a remote workstation

Versions affected

All versions released before November 1, 1998 are affected. This procedure will also work with drivers that are expected to be released in the future. Please see the installation instructions for those particular driver versions for optimum instructions.

Issue 1This Document pertains to these Xerox products:

XDC 220/230 ST/LP

DC 240/255/265 ST/LP

DCS 20/35

Upgrading the driver to a newer version

Installing a newer version of the Xerox printer driver over an existing (older) version may not successfully remove the old driver. Some symptoms of this problem are unusual default values (i.e., pink stock instead of white) or some features of the driver not working (such as Staple).

The following installation steps are for a PC that already has a DC 220/230 printer driver. Note that you must upgrade the server drivers first in a client/server environment. See Glossary for definitions.

Also, be aware that you must perform these steps for each computer (server and client) that requires the upgraded driver.

1.Record the printer names and ports on the PC for use in later steps.

2.Select [Start], then choose [Settings: Printers].
