What is Driver?

• A driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware or devices. Without drivers, the hardware you connect to your computer—for example, a video card or a printer—won’t work properly.

What is UFRII ?

• A UFR II  driver is a Canon proprietary driver that stands for “Ultra Fast Rendering II.” This driver processes print jobs quicker by compressing the print job before sending it to the copier, resulting in faster print times.

UFR II

• 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

Information

• Canon provides you with three types of printer drivers: Adobe Systems’ PS (PostScript) 3 emulation printer driver, Hewlett-Packard’s PCL (Printer Control Language) printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers, and Canon’s UFR II (Ultra Fast Rendering II) printer driver.
• The Canon UFR II printer driver enables users of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista to print from any Windows application and make full use of their Canon printers. (Although the machines supported by this printer driver have multiple functions, they will be referred to as “printers” in this guide).
