Adopting a comprehensive approach to workgroup and enterprise printing, Kyocera provides uniformity of device drivers and utilities across their broad product line. This approach is beneficial for both Administrators and clients alike, since it reduces management burden and user learning curves. The result? A more fluid document workflow and a more efficient workplace.

KX Drivers for Windows

When evaluating new printing equipment, a major IT related topic is the print driver. Some of the issues that need to be addressed are; compatibility with their operating systems, a driver that supports the PDL their users require, distribution, and training. The Kyocera KX Print driver addresses these concerns. The KX Driver supports Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. All available PDLs are included in the print driver so the user just needs to select the PDL from the driver settings. No matter if you are using Windows 95 or Windows XP; utilize PostScript or PCL; distribution and training are simplified because the KX Driver appears the same on all operating systems.

• Common driver - One Driver for all Kyocera Products.
  
• User Friendly GUI Interface - Users can see exactly what features are selected.
  
• Complete print control over the device from the desktop - Print covers and inserts, adjust quality and resolution, select paper size and layout.
  
• Electronic job storage capabilities with optional HDD (e-MPS) - Temporary/Permanent storage of print jobs, document storage in Virtual Mailboxes, and secure printing.
  
• Mac Support
  
• PPD's are supplied on the software library CD enabling complete print control over your document in OS10.x, 9.x and 8.x environments. Add covers, duplex, edge staple or saddle stich with a few clicks of your mouse.

Linux/UNIX Support

The monochrome and colour Copier/MFP's and network Printers are all fully functional in the Linux and UNIX print environments. You can download drivers for CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) printing. Kyocera's partnership with Codehost is ideal for more advanced Linux/UNIX support.

IBM iSeries (AS/400)

Kyocera Copier/MFP's and network printers are ideal for handling the paper intensive demands for the AS/400 server environment. Whether printing in a front office or back office location you can output at full engine speed through SCS printing protocol for fast job turnaround times.

Citrix MetaFrame

MetaFrame XP's ability to centrally manage application on a server enables businesses to consolidate resources, enhance upgrading of systems and can lower server management costs. Fully functional in the Citrix MetaFrame environment, the KX Driver allows you to access all device features and take full advantage of Kyocera's legendary low Total Cost of Ownership.

As an alliance member of Citrix, all Kyocera's printing devices are certified by Citrix to operate in this space.

SAP

Kyocera's broad range of monochrome and colour Copier/MFPs and network printers are ideal for the SAP R/3 environment. Device types enable users to access the majority of printing features, including duplexing, collation, stapling and more.

PRESCRIBE

Kyocera's native Printer Description Language (PDL), PRESCRIBE is software and platform independent and is ideal for solving unique and complex printing applications. Included as part of the printing system, PRESCRIBE is also a cost-effective approach to forms and letterhead printing. (Click here to see Forms Solutions brochure in .pdf format).

• Print forms and letterhead on demand
  
• Store forms, letterhead on the printer
  
• Eliminate pre-printed forms from inventory
  
• Instantly make changes to forms
  
• Reduce forms creation and storage costs
  

Electronic Multi Printing System (e-MPS)

When enabled, e-MPS enhances the workflow process by allowing jobs to be stored, sent to a Virtual Mailbox, proofed before final printing and re-printed on demand. It's like having a virtual file cabinet on your output device! Jobs are sent once over the network, greatly reducing network traffic. Stored print jobs can be retrieved from the device control panel, via an optional Bar Code Reading or from the desktop.

KM-NET Viewer

KM-NET Viewer is an administrator's dream come true. Comprehensive yet easy to use, NET Viewer provides bi-directional communication between connected devices and the administrator, locally or remotely.

• Monitor all devices on the network, including those from other vendors
  
• Proactive information shows problems before affecting users
  
• Visual, audible and email notification of all device alerts to user, administers and service location
  
• Customize alerts and device groups for easy administration and reporting
  
• Remotely configure/view/monitor devices
  
• View/change printer settings
  
• Gather print job statistics and print reports

IB-2x Network Interface Card

Developed by Kyocera, the IB-2x is a common NIC for all Kyocera monochrome and colour devices, Copier/MFPs and printers.

• Supports TCP/IP, NetWare, AppleTalk and NetBEUI printing protocols
  
• Email notification of device error, meter reading
  
• Supports Internet Protocol Printing (IPP)
  
• Virtual ports for multiple print streams

IB-22 Enhanced Wireless Network Interface (802.11b)

Introduced as an option for all Kyocera developed monochrome and colour Copier/MFPs and printers, the IB-22 is an internal, fully integrated and flexible connectivity solution that extends your network reach and helps control costs.
