1-4-1. Citrix XenApp
We support using the Printer Driver for Universal Print in the following Citrix XenApp environment:
NOTE: Printing by using Citrix UPD—cases (c) and (e)—is not officially supported because the Citrix
UPD is not a driver created by Ricoh. The Citrix UPD uses EMF data. EMF data can cause a variety of errors, depending on the application used to print. In addition, if a Citrix client has drivers that were installed via Point and Print, changes made to the Citrix UPD settings might not take effect.
Case (a): Using the Server Local Printer
A Ricoh driver is installed and a local print queue is created on the Citrix server in advance. The client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session and prints a document by using the server local print queue. The print job is directly sent to the printer.
Page 26 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Case (b): Client Printing Pathway: Using the Auto-Created Client's Local Printer (Ricoh Driver)
A Ricoh driver is installed on the Citrix server and, by using the same driver, a local print queue is created on the client in advance. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the print queue on the client's computer is auto-created on the Citrix server by using the installed Ricoh driver. The client prints a document by using the auto-created print queue. The print job is sent to the printer via the client.
Page 27 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Case (c): Client Printing Pathway: Using the Auto-Created Client's Local Printer (Citrix UPD)
The Citrix Universal Printer Driver (Citrix UPD) is preinstalled on the Citrix server by default and a local print queue is created in advance on the client by using a Ricoh driver. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the print queue on the client's computer is auto-created on the Citrix server by using the Citrix UPD. The client prints a document by using the auto-created print queue. The print job is sent to the printer via the client.
Ricoh does not officially support this printing method.
Case (d): Client Printing Pathway: Using the Auto-Created Client's Network Printer (Ricoh Driver)
A Ricoh driver is installed on the Citrix server and, by using the same driver, a shared print queue is created on the print server. The print queue is shared with the client via Point and Print from the print server. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the print queue that is being shared with the client by the print server is auto-created on the Citrix server by using the Ricoh driver. The client prints a document by using the auto-created queue. The print job is sent to the printer via the client and the print server.
Page 28 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Case (e): Client Printing Pathway: Using the Auto-Created Client's Network Printer (Citrix UPD)
The Citrix Universal Printer Driver (UPD) is preinstalled on the Citrix server by default. A Ricoh driver is installed and a shared print queue is created on the print server. The print queue is shared with the client via
Point and Print from the print server.
When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the print queue that is being shared with the client by the print server is auto-created on the Citrix server by using the Citrix UPD. The client prints a document by using the auto-created queue. The job is sent to the printer via the client and the print server.
Page 29 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Ricoh does not officially support this printing method.
Case (f): Network Printing Pathway: Using the Auto-Created Client's Network Printer (Ricoh Driver)
A Ricoh driver is installed and a shared print queue is created on the print server. The print queue is shared with the client via Point and Print from the print server. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the print queue that is being shared with the client by the print server is auto-created on the Citrix server by using the Ricoh driver. The client prints a document by using the auto-created queue. The job is sent to the printer via the print server.
Page 30 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Case (g): Network Printing Pathway: Using the Citrix Server's Network Printer (Session Printer)
A Ricoh driver is installed on the Citrix server and, by using the same driver, a shared print queue is created on the print server in advance. In addition, the print queue for the client on the print server is configured to be shared by using the Citrix "Session Printers" policy. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an
ICA session, the shared print queue on the print server will automatically be shared via Point and Print. The clients print by using the shared print queue. The print job is sent to the printer via the print server.
Case (h): Network Printing Pathway: Using the Citrix Server's Network Printer (Manual Point and
Print)
The Citrix server desktop or the Print folder is published to the client in advance. When the client logs on to the Citrix server via an ICA session, the client manually creates a print queue via Point and Print for current or a future session. The client prints a document using the print queue that has been created by the user.
The print job is sent to the printer via the print server.

Bidirectional Communication
5-3-1. What Is Bidirectional Communication?
PCL PS
Bidirectional communication automatically sets up installed options and paper settings to make the driver ready to use. The driver sends an SNMP query to the printer and gets a reply from the printer that includes the necessary information to automatically configure the settings:
Paper o Paper sizes in the trays o Installed
Accessories o Installed o Supported job types
Color/B&W o Type of device (black & white or color)
PCL PS
5-3-2. Supported Ports
Ports that support bidirectional communication:
Standard TCP/IP port o The SNMP community name used by standard TCP/IP ports is “public” but can be changed.
Novel iPrint Server port o Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.5.0.0 or later only o If using v3.5.0.0, the SNMP community name should be “public”. o If using v3.6.0.0 or later, the SNMP community name can be changed as long as the
Novel iPrint client is v5.60 or later.
PCL PS
5-3-3. When Bidirectional Communication Will Occur
v3.13.0.0 and earlier
After Printer Properties or Printing Preferences is opened.
After the Update Now button in the Accessories tab is clicked. v4.0.0.0 and later
After Printer Properties is opened.
After the Update Now button in the Accessories tab is clicked.
Page 57 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
By default, our universal driver will automatically establish bidirectional communication with the connected device. This allows the driver to automatically determine which options have been installed and which UI to display to users.
NOTE:
Bidirectional communication in the user privileges environment has been eliminated as of
Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.0.0.0 because it led to incompatibilities with the operating system.
Because of this, the “Update Now” button is grayed so that users cannot switch the current model.

The following steps are for Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.6.0.0 and later versions:
1. Access Novell iManager > iPrint > Manage Printer > Configuration > Gateway
2. Add or edit “GETCOMMUNITYSTRING=XXXX” in the “Gateway autoload command” box.
3. XXXX = the SNMP Community Name
NOTES:
iPrint Client v5.60 or later must be used to establish bidirectional communication by using an
SNMP community name other than “public”.
Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.4.0.0 or earlier drivers installed by using iPrint cannot establish bidirectional communication.
Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.5.0.0 always uses the SNMP community name “public”.
This cannot be changed.

5-3-6. Disabling Automatic Bidirectional Communication
PCL PS
Bidirectional communication might not be necessary for users who always connect to the same device. Such users might prefer to disable bidirectional communication to reduce network traffic and decrease driver response time.
NOTE: Even if “Automatically Update Printer Information” is unchecked, bidirectional communication can be established manually by using the “Update Now” button. Unchecking “Automatically Update
Printer Information” is not recommended if the driver will be used with PrinterSwitcher. Doing so could result in unexpected driver behavior and print output.
PCL PS
Configuring Disabling Automatic Bidirectional Communication
Uncheck “Automatically Update Printer Information” in the Accessories tab. Printer Driver for Universal
Print v3.3.0.0 and later supports disabling bidirectional communication.

Version Management Support
5-6-1. Overview
PCL PS
As of Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.2.0.0, an older version of the driver can coexist with the newer version of the driver on a single computer. This is the same structure as HP and Xerox drivers.
When installing Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.2.0.0 or later, the generic name (PCL6/PS Driver for Universal Print) or a version-specific name (RICOH PCL6/PS UniversalDriver Vx.x) can be selected from one screen.
Drivers can coexist in the following combinations:
The generic-name driver and a version-specific-name driver (Case1)
The new version of a version-specific-name driver and the old version of a version-specific-name driver (Case2)
Page 66 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
NOTES:
Downgrading a newer version of a driver to an older version of a driver by switching the driver name in “Printer Properties > Advanced tab > Driver” is not supported.
The version-specific name of the driver cannot be upgraded to a new version of the driver by using the New Driver button because the naming between the driver with the new version-specific name and the old one is different. Therefore, if there are plans to upgrade the driver to a later version in the future, please select the driver with the generic name.
When upgrading from the driver with the generic name:
When upgrading from a driver with a version-specific name:

5-6-2. Benefits
There are two benefits to this method:
Benefit 1: Improvements made to the test for upgrading to a new driver
When conducting an operational check for updating the Printer Driver for Universal Print, users can test the newer and older versions simultaneously.
Benefit 2: Driver management is easier in a complex environment
Users can manage the drivers more easily in a complex environment, such as environment with multiple print servers.
For example, different versions of drivers are installed on Server A (v3.13.0.0) and Server B
(v3.12.0.0). When the client installs drivers on both Server A and Server B by using Point and
Print, the two print queues are created on the client, but the driver itself will be installed only one that has the newest version (v3.13.0.0).
When submitting a job by using the queue installed from Server B, a version mismatch between the client and Server B will occur and some problems, such as Normal Print being used instead of Locked Print, might occur. Therefore, users must install the same version of the driver on all servers
Page 68 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
If users use the version-specific name of the driver, a different version of a driver can coexist on each server and problems will not occur.
In the following case, if the client submits a job by using the queue installed from Server B, the driver version (v4.2.0.0) installed on the client and Server B will match.

NOTE: Difference between “K (Black) per Page” and “Black/Gray by K-Strong UCR”
Previously, when printing scanned text, graphics, and/or images, the result was blurry. However,
“Black/Gray by K-Strong UCR” will print more clearly.

Paper Type Selection in Microsoft Word PCL PS
By using Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.4.0.0 or later, the paper type can be selected from “Page
Setup” in Microsoft Word.
Even if a user does not know which tray has the paper type that he or she would like to print on, the expected paper type can be fed from the tray by selecting the paper type from “Page Setup” in
Microsoft Word.

Job Type PS
To select the Windows Login Name as the user ID, the EMF Spool option needs to disabled. When using PS Driver for Universal Print v4.4.0.0 or later, the Windows Login Name can be selected as the user ID regardless of the EMF spool setting.
PS Driver for Universal Print v4.3.0.0 and earlier
The Windows Login Name cannot be selected as the user ID if the “Spool Data in EMF Format” option is enabled.
PS Driver for Universal Print v4.4.0.0 and later
The Windows Login Name can be selected as the user ID regardless of the “Spool Data in EMF
Format” option setting.
Page 86 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Limitations
When selecting the Windows Login Name as the user ID in Point and Print–client environment, the server's Windows Login Name will be used if the EMF spool setting is enabled with the server-side-rendering setting:
EMF spool: “Spool Data in EMF Format” in the Printing Preferences is enabled.
Server-side rendering: “Render print jobs on client computers” in the Printer Properties is set to OFF.
To avoid this, either of the following workarounds are applicable:
Disable “Spool Data in EMF Format” in the Printing Preference so that RAW spool is used.
Enable “Render print jobs on client computers” within the Printer Properties, which enables client-side-rendering.

Roaming User Profiles
8-7-1. Overview
As of Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.5.0.0, Roaming User Profiles are supported. With Roaming
User Profiles, user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks are retained if users log on to another computer. The following is an example of a Roaming User Profiles environment:
Example:
1. User A logs on to PC1.
Page 88 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
2. User profile for User A is created.
3. User A logs off from PC1.
Page 89 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
4. User profile is saved on the file server.
5. User A logs on to PC2.
Page 90 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
6. User Profile is called and applied to PC2.
Page 91 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
8-7-2. Specifications
A user profile consists of the following information:
Profile folder
C:\Users\<username>
Registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Reference: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc775560(v=ws.10).aspx
In v4.4.0.0 or earlier, the user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks are stored in the local folder
(“C:\ProgramData\RICOH_DRV”). However, these folders are not targets of the Profile folder.
Therefore, the user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks are not retained if a user logs on to another computer in the Roaming User Profiles environment.
To support Roaming User Profiles in the Printer Driver for Universal Print and retain the user-defined
One Click Icons and watermarks, the locale of the user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks are changed.
Page 92 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
Page 93 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
8-7-3. Limitations
The registries for user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks in
“HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RICOH\RICOH_DRV” will be retained even though the printer icons are deleted. However, the user-defined One Click Icons and watermarks will not be re-created if the printer icons are re-created.
In the following Citrix XenApp environment, user-defined One Click Icons, watermarks, and job code information, such as the user ID and password, might be shared between printer icons A and
B.

Support for the Aficio SP 3500SF/3510SF and 3500N/3510DN PCL
PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v3.11.0.0 can be used in Generic Model mode with Aficio SP
3500SF/3510SF and Aficio SP 3500N/3510DN. However, these devices require a certain level of firmware to be used with the PCL6 Driver for Universal Print.
Required firmware versions:
Aficio SP 3500SF/3510SF: v2.01 or later
Aficio SP 3500N/3510DN: v2.00 or later
After updating the firmware, the PCL6 Mode setting needs to be configured to Universal. To find this
setting, please refer to the section “
”.
8-10. Support for the SP C250SF/C252SF and the
SP C250DN/C252DN
PCL
The SP C250SF/C252SF and the SP C250DN/C252DN can be selected as device-specific models in
PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v4.3.0.0 and later.
Page 104 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
However, the setting “PCL6 Mode > Universal” needs to be changed before these devices can be
used with the PCL6 Driver for Universal Print. To find this setting, please refer to the section “
PCL
8-10-1. Printer Driver Collate function
The SP C250SF/C252SF and the SP C250DN/C252DN do not have the collate function on the printer side. Therefore, the “Printer Collate” setting is not available. Instead, the “Printer Driver Collate” setting is available.
The following case demonstrates the differences between the commands “Printer Collate” and “Printer
Driver Collate”, and shows a job that consists of three copies of five pages of prints and simplex printing.
When selecting the “Printer Driver Collate” setting, the PDL commands will be created for the total number of pages. In the above case, the PDL commands will be created for each of the 15 pages.
When using the “Printer Driver Collate” setting, “@PJL SET JOBPAGECNT” will be used for judging the separation of each copy. The value of “@PJL SET JOBPAGECNT” is the number of printed sides in one copy.
For example, when printing a five-page document:
• If “Duplex=OFF” and “Layout=1 Page per Sheet”, the value will be “5”.
• If “Duplex=ON” and “Layout=1 Page per Sheet”, the value will be “5”.
• If “Duplex=ON” and “Layout=2 Pages per Sheet”, the value will be “3”.

Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
8-11. PCL6 Mode
PCL
Overview
PCL6 Mode is a new feature that makes the driver compatible with the firmware. This feature has been added because the PCL6 Driver for Universal Print now supports the following models:
Aficio SP 3500SF/3510SF
Aficio SP 3500N/3510DN
If you print by using the PCL6 Universal Driver, make sure that “PCL6 Mode” is set to “Universal”. If you print by using the model-specific PCL6 driver, make sure that “PCL6 Mode” is set to “[product name]”. “PCL6 Mode” can be set to “Universal” or “[product name]” by using the control panel or Web
Image Monitor.
IMPORTANT:
“PCL6 Mode” is set to “[product name]” by default.
Precautions:
If there is a conflict between the PCL6 Mode setting and the actual driver, the following will occur:
The paper will not be fed from the assigned tray.
The set paper size will not be used.
If you print by using the PCL6 Universal Driver and the PCL6 Mode is configured to “[product name]”, the hostname of the printer will be changed to the “Computer name” or “Smart Device name”.

Generic Model Mode PCL PS
In addition to the officially supported models listed above, other models can be used with the Printer
Driver for Universal Print. If the Printer Driver for Universal Print is connected to a device that is not in the list, the Generic Model setting can be used to provide basic functionality. The Generic Model UI will contain only functions that are commonly supported by most Ricoh models. Though the Generic
Model setting can be used with unsupported models, we only provide official support for certain models.
Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.0.0.0 and later versions have a Generic Model interface, which supports basic functionality that is common to most models.

Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
9-1-3. Custom Paper Size for the Generic Model
PCL PS
As of Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.0.0.0, Custom Paper Size will be supported when using
Generic Model mode. The following measurement units for width and length are supported:
Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.0.0.0 to v4.4.0.0:
Inches Millimeters
Width
Length
3.55 – 12.00
5.83 – 23.61
90.1 – 304.9
148.0 – 599.8
Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.5.0.0 and later:
Width
Inches
2.52 – 13.00
Millimeters
64.0 – 330.2
Length 4.93 – 49.60 125.0 – 1260.0
As of Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.5.0.0, measurement units for width and length have been expanded for all of the supported models.
If a job that includes the unsupported measurement units for a model is submitted, a paper size mismatch will occur. For example, the MET-C1 supports 3.94 inches to 13.00 inches (100.0 to
330.2 mm) as the width. Therefore, if 2.52 inches (64.0 mm) is specified as the width, a paper size mismatch will occur.
PCL PS
9-1-4. Generic Model: Bidirectional Communication
As of the Printer Driver for Universal Print (PCL6 v3.7.0.0 or PS v3.8.0.0), the following settings in the generic UI can be updated via bidirectional communication.
Printer Properties:
Accessories tab > Options: Duplex, Staple, and Punch
Paper Size Settings tab > Input Tray/Paper Size Settings
Settings:
Color / Black and White
Job Type
Input Tray
Document Size
*
Print On
*This setting only applies to PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v3.7.0.0 to v3.13.0.0 and PS
Driver for Universal Print v3.7.0.0 or later.
Page 114 of 134
Printer Driver for Universal Print ver 4.5.0
9-1-5. Specification Change as of v4.0.0.0
PCL PS
When switching to Generic Model mode and bidirectional communication does not work, Duplex,
Staple, and Punch will be enabled by default because some models support only Generic Model mode even though they support the specific model when using Printer Driver for Universal Print v3.13.0.0 or earlier. When updating to Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.x with each of these models, the options in the Accessories tab will need to be reconfigured after updating.
PCL
9-1-6. Delta Row Compression for Generic Model Mode
PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v4.1.0.0 and earlier
When printing a document by using Generic Model mode in the PCL6 Driver for Universal Print, the spool size of the print job might be bigger than a job generated by using the model-specific mode of the driver.
An example of spool sizes.
Some model-specific modes support the Delta Row compression method.
Print jobs generated by using Delta Row compression are generally smaller than jobs generated by not using it.
PCL6 Driver for Universal Print v4.2.0.0 or later
Generic Model mode supports Delta Row compression method, so the issue regarding the bigger spool size will not occur.

9-1-7. “2 at Center” Staple for Generic Mode
As of Printer Driver for Universal Print v4.4.0.0, the “2 at center” staple can be used with the Booklet function when in Generic Model mode.
The direction of the staples is different depending on the finisher option. There are two types of finisher options, as shown below:
Type 1: Stapling will be conducted in the normal direction, as shown below:
Type 2: Stapling will be conducted in the opposite direction, as shown below. The driver setting will need to be changed to obtain the normal result.
