2.2 upd componEnts

KONICA MINOLTA Universal Printer Driver consists of four main types of
component: UPD Core, Child Driver Core, the Device Selector and child drivers.
UPD Core is the core module of UPD, and provides functionality used internally
throughout UPD. Child Driver Core modules provide functionality common to each
device type. The Device Selector is a module for selecting the output device when
printing. After you have selected the output device, you can connect the individual
printer driver that is appropriate for that device. These individual printer drivers are
called "child drivers." The child drivers' dialogs are used for printer setup.
Figure 2-2-1 UPD Components
Essentially, in order to use UPD, launch the Device Selector first, but if you select
and register the output device beforehand, and create a printer icon, you can also
access the child driver directly.
There are also two types of UPD version: the UPD representative version, which is
the overall version for UPD, and the individual version of each child driver. See 4.4
UPD Versions for details on how to check the version.
