PCL XLError messageprinted onpageAgain, as soon as the user requests something other than simple printing and tries to use some functions such asstaple or selecting a different paper tray, then the output is incorrect. There are also cases where the job is notprinted at all. The only way to ensure that the output is correct is to use the standard Canon printer driver.In a job routing environment, if the printer make and model the user selects first isnot the same as the one the job is been routed to, it can be printed incorrectlyresulting in costly reprints and more calls to the IT helpdesk. Instead ofreducing costs, these systems may instead increase them.“Even using adifferent driverfrom the samemanufacturerdoes not givecorrect output”Page 6 of 12
uniFLOW Output Manager Universal DriverNot all output management systems are the same. To implement the pull printing and job routing functions,uniFLOW Output Manager uses its own “universal driver” to solve these problems.The main difference between the uniFLOW Output Manager universal driver and the other systems on themarket is that the printer specific control codes are only added to the spool file once the make and model ofdevice the job is being released to is known. This means that the correct information is always sent to the printerand the user always gets the output they are expecting.From the end user point of view, the uniFLOW OutputManager universal driver appears as a normal printerqueue that they can select from any Windows application.They just select “file, print” and select the “uniFLOW OMUniversal Driver” from the list. On pressing the“properties” button, the user can select how they wanttheir document to be printed. The user can select to printsingle or double sided, select a hole punch or a staple andif it should be printed in colour or not. The user can alsoselect which paper type they want the job to be printedon. They do not have to select which paper tray as, forexample, there is no guarantee that tray 1 always containsheaded paper.When the user has finished their selections, the job is heldon the print server waiting for them to authenticate at a device. There have been no printer specific commandsadded to the spool file at this point because uniFLOW Ouptut Manager does not know yet which printer make ormodel the user will eventually walk to.uniFLOW OM Universal Secure Print1.
