Product Brief
IPS DDK, Zoran’s feature-rich high performance driver
Microsoft Unidrv and PScript provided in Windows, IPS DDK
eliminates the requirement for developing both monolithic and
Unidrv/PScript based drivers. This can now be accomplished in
one development effort. In addition, IPS DDK offers user
interface consistency across Windows operating systems
including Windows Vista and print language technologies.
development kit, is targeted to color and monochrome printers
and multifunction peripherals (MFPs). IPS DDK supports raster,
JBIG, PCL 5, PCL XL (PCL 6) and PostScript on laser, inkjet and
other marking technologies. In the past, only monolithic drivers
met OEM requirements for features, customization, performance
and print quality. By extending the capabilities of the standard
Benefits
Key Features
• Conforms to Microsoft Unidrv/PScript architecture; fully Windows-
compatible (x86 and x64 versions) and WHQL compliant; prepares
development for future Windows releases including Windows Vista
• Easily customized user interface design, portable to both Unidrv
and PScript, and compliant with both Microsoft in-box and OEM UI
specifications
• Full customization capabilities and control over user interface
design and feature set
• Full range of feature enhancements to standard Unidrv and
PScript: page and device preview, watermark generation, N-up
formatting, complex booklet printing, reverse ordering, manual
duplex, scaling features and more
• Easy integration of OEM intellectual property: proprietary color
management, halftone algorithms (error diffusion and screens)
and other image quality improvement algorithms, finishing options,
document processing and other device features
• High-fidelity color and quality, object-specific rendering and digital
halftoning
• Source code availability provides independence, design flexibility
and facilitates value-added customization
• Integrated high-speed, assembler-optimized, JBIG compression
module for raster page devices

inkjet) raster devices and PDL devices
Description
IPS DDK Driver Development Kit
Plug-In Architecture
Zoran's IPS DDK is specifically designed to comply with Microsoft's
Printing Architecture to ensure complete compatibility with Windows
operating systems. It takes full advantage of the standard spool
system, I/O architecture and OS-supplied components in Windows
2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, including x64 editions.
Using IPS DDK, OEMs can create drivers using:
Zoran has built on the Unidrv and PScript architecture with an
innovative plug-in model that takes full advantage of the Microsoft core
components and adds powerful functionality and customization
capabilities. The IPS DDK plug-ins are implemented as a small number
of DLLs.
User Interface Plug-In
• Microsoft's Unidrv-based PCL 5 and PCL XL emitters
• Microsoft’s PScript-based PostScript emitter
• Zoran's JBIG and inkjet raster emitters
• Their own proprietary formats
The DDK supports both color and monochrome output in bitonal, multi-
bit, N-color or contone format for laser, inkjet and other marking
technologies.
Full customization of the driver's user interface is provided by the User
Interface Plug-In. Various OEM custom designs are possible: rich
graphics in the user interface such as logos, printer configuration
images, page preview, etc. are standard. The user interface is
controlled through a combination of extended Generic Printer
Description (GPD) files or PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files;
more complex UI constraints are supported by easily debugged source
code.
Windows Vista Ready
Feature Plug-Ins
IPS DDK is compatible with the legacy print path in Windows Vista,
adding extensible support for PrintTicket and PrintCapabilities in the
new operating system. Because IPS DDK leverages standard
Microsoft interfaces, print drivers developed with IPS DDK can
seamlessly migrate between past, current and future operating system
releases.
Features that are not natively supported by Unidrv or PScript are
implemented using advanced controls and processing options in the
Feature Plug-Ins:
• Document Transformation features add functionality to application
features, including zooming, watermarks, N-up, booklet and more.
• An enhanced Page Preview allows the user to see at a glance what
print options are active (e.g. watermarks, N-up, booklet printing,
binding options, etc.)
x64 Edition Support
IPS DDK was designed from the ground up with 64-bit computing in
mind. It is the ideal platform for OEMs looking to support Windows XP
x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 with full-featured print drivers.
Both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers can be generated from a single source
code project.
