C. PDF file name and job name with milliseconds
This is an enhancement to the PDF Print and Save option. This feature prints a PDF document and
generates a file name with a time stamp that includes milliseconds. The job name time stamp also
includes the milliseconds in the device printing job log.
In the previous KX Driver, the filename generated when a PDF file is set to “Print and Save” contained a
time stamp with seconds only. This feature enhances PDF file documentation and support.

D. Print size and page size lists
This enhancement changes the order of the items in the print size and page size lists in the KX Driver
Basic tab by improving the user experience when navigating the KX Driver user interface. In the previous
KX Driver, the arrangement of items in the lists is predefined. For this new version, the lists are defined
based on the frequently used print and page sizes, which go to the top of the lists.
Determining the frequently used print and page sizes is done per print job based on the first printed page.

additional new models that will support the new standard.

F. Factory default and profiles
This enhancement involves the change of behavior in the factory default and profiles. In previous KX
Driver versions, you could edit only the user-created profiles but not the factory default profile.
With this new feature, users can edit the name, icon, and description of the factory default profile. The
user can also save, export, and import a profile with “Factory Default” as the profile name. However,
user-created and predefined profiles from post-installer cannot be edited.
