System Requirements

Selecting the Appropriate Printer Driver

Content of CD-ROM:

UFRII LT Printer Driver

UFRII LT User Software

Mac UFRII LT Printer Driver

Features of the Printer Driver

UFR II/UFRII LT Printer Driver:
Using the UFR II printer driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within
the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the
overall printing time.
The workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in
speed through optimization.
UFR II LT also uses UFR II technology to carry out PC data processing, enabling high-speed printing
even on printers with low processing capabilities.
