Use the Output Manager Universal PostScript Driver

To use the driver, perform the following steps.

  1. Install the Input Service on your network print server.
  2. Create a shared printer using the Output Manager Universal PostScript Driver and Output Manager Job Monitor Port.
    These steps may vary slightly by operating system.
    1. Open Devices And Printers.
      Until a Windows Queue source has been created for this printer, the port is unable to send data to Output Manager. Therefore, the Print Test Page feature will not work until after the Windows Queue source has been set up.
    2. Click Add a printer.
    3. Click Add a local or network printer.
    4. Click Create a new port, select Output Job Monitor from the drop down, and click Next.
    5. Enter a name for the port and click OK.
    6. Select Kofax, Inc. in the manufacturers list, select Output Manager Universal PostScript Driver in the printers list, and click Next.
    7. Select Use the driver that is currently installed and click Next.
    8. Enter a name for the printer and click Next.
    9. Choose Share this printer, set shared name (usually the same as the printer name), and click Next.
    10. Click Finish.
  3. Create a Windows Queue source in Output Manager to receive documents printed through the driver.
    See Receiving documents from a Windows queue.
  4. Create an Output Manager destination to output to the target printer.
    See Sending Documents to an IPDS Printer.
    Alternately, the Universal PS Driver Wizard can be used to create printers with the driver, or convert existing printers to use the driver. For more information, see Universal PS Driver Wizard.
