PRINT DRIVER / SERVER
ENVIRONMENT CERTIFICATIONS
Microsoft
®
WHQL Certification
Windows Hardware Quality Labs testing
involves running a series of tests on third-
party hardware or software, and then
submitting the log files from these tests to
Microsoft for review. Xerox
®
products that
are Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL)
certified comply with Microsoft standards and
ensure seamless compatibility with Microsoft
Windows environments.
Citrix
®
Certification
Citrix Systems is an American multinational
software and services company that
specializes in virtualization and remote access
software for delivering applications over a
network and the Internet. Xerox is part of the
Citrix ready program, which allows vendors to
perform a self evaluation of its product against
a set of metrics outlined by Citrix. Once the
product passes certification, Xerox pays an
annual fee for having its certified products
listed on the Citrix website as well as the right
to use its logo. This certification ensures that
a product using Citrix software will function as
expected in a remote environment.
IPv6 Ready
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a relatively
new protocol for routing network traffic and
identifying network-connected devices. IPv6
will be phased in over many years as the next-
generation replacement for the global IPv4
standard. Because printers and multifunction
printers comprise a sizable percentage of
the world’s networked devices, Xerox is
transitioning its products’ capabilities to be
IPv6-compatible.
Bonjour
®
Bonjour is Apple Inc.’s trade name for its
implementation of zero-configuration
networking, a service discovery protocol.
Bonjour enables automatic discovery of
devices such as printers, other computers, and
the services that those devices offer on IP
networks using industry standard IP protocols.
Google Cloud Print™
Google Cloud Print is a simple mobile printing
solution for mobile workers that can’t count on
having access to the same printer or MFP all
the time; or do not have the appropriate print
driver software for the printer or MFP that is
available. Google Cloud Print enabled printers
and MFPs allow mobile workers to securely and
directly connect and register with the Google
Cloud Print service, so it’s always available. No
need to install and maintain print drivers or
additional software.
Mopria
®
Mopria is an acronym derived from the Mobile
Print Alliance. The charter of this alliance
of printer manufacturers is to create simple
wireless printing from smartphones, tablets,
and other mobile devices. Mopria printing
does not require any driver installation or
software download on these devices. Mopria
Print functionality will be embedded in phones,
tablets or other mobile devices and there is
no set-up required. When mobile device users
have access to a Mopria-certified printer, they
will be able to effortlessly discover and print to
this printer. Mopria will be initially supported
for users of Android™ Kit Kat (4.4)-based
devices using a free plug-in available in the
Google Play™ store.
Wi-Fi Direct Certification
This certification lets you print from your
mobile device without having to connect to
a network. Adding the optional wireless USB
adapter enables this connection, and allows
for both an Ethernet connection and Wi-Fi
Direct connection to be enabled at the
same time.
Apple
®
AirPrint
Apple AirPrint is a driverless printing
technology and was introduced with iOS
®
version 4.2 in November 2010. It enables
Apple iOS devices including the iPhone
®
,
iPad
®
, iPod touch
®
, and even Mac OS
®
X
computers to print with no need to install
drivers or download software. AirPrint uses
well-established, familiar technologies already
in use today, such as Bonjour, IPP, PDF and
JPEG. AirPrint will likely continue to evolve to
add new features and functionality, however,
the basic operation of AirPrint will remain
constant, in that it requires only a few steps to
ensure it works as it was designed to do.
APPLICATION CERTIFICATIONS
Cerner Certification
Cerner is the leading U.S. supplier of
healthcare information technology solutions
that optimize clinical and financial outcomes.
Around the world, health organizations
ranging from single-doctor practices to entire
countries turn to Cerner for their powerful
yet intuitive solutions. Cerner offers clients
a dedicated focus on healthcare, an end-
to-end solution and service portfolio, and
proven market leadership. Xerox pays Cerner
for product certification, which is a 6-8 week
process after the product is received in Kansas
City. Once certified, Cerner lists the product
on its internal customer website and sends
Xerox a certificate. This certification allows
Xerox to participate in customer bids where
Cerner Certification is a requirement. Xerox
also provides a product, including all supplies
and service, to Cerner until that product is at
end of life. Cerner Certification is important
to a customer’s IT staff as this allows them
the comfort of having 24/7 support 365 days
a year, through the Cerner help desk. Cerner
provides this support as part of their HIS
package. For example, a hospital can call and
report a downed printer in the Emergency
Room at 3 a.m. and receive remote support for
that printer.
On June 20, 2012, Medical Information Technology, Inc. (MEDITECH) published a statement concerning changes to its printer testing program. This statement read in part
“Going forward, MEDITECH will no longer be testing laser printers. If a laser printer uses the PCL-5, 5c or 5e language, it will work with MEDITECH and will therefore be supported.
All other types of printers (dot matrix, barcode) will still be tested by MEDITECH.” As a courtesy to our customers, Xerox has printed and tested the consistency of MEDITECH-provide
files from laser printers using PCL 6 with equivalent output from previously certified laser printers using PCL 5. Xerox has substantiated output consistency for printers using PCL 6.
