CDA : Driver Development Toolkits

CDA CDA's unique "engineer once, build many" development platform enables rapid generation of high performance, high quality printer drivers for all versions of Microsoft Windows. CDA eliminates the need for multiple development and testing efforts, reducing your time-to-market and minimizing overhead while providing feature rich drivers and unmatched reliability for PostScript/PCL printers.

Automate and Accelerate Customized Driver Production

CDA eliminates the need for multiple development and testing efforts, reducing your time-to-market and minimizing overhead while providing feature rich drivers and unmatched reliability for PostScript/PCL printers.

Software Imaging can also provide custom development solutions built to meet the required driver specification.

A Single Interface for Many PDLs

CDA has been designed in a modular way, to enable the rapid development of multiple drivers from a single source driver description, through the use of common components.

For example, for a color digital copier that supports three different PDLs, the CDA Driver Development Toolkit can use a single interface that could be used for all three drivers. Furthermore, this interface can be used on the drivers for all supported operating systems and they can be built in a single build from a single source driver description.

Fast Simple Driver Development

Single source driver development produces stable drivers in the shortest possible time so that CDA OEMs can focus on value-added features for their devices. Quite simply, CDA enables OEMs to bring their products to market quicker.

Confidence in the Future

To maintain the value of their investment CDA Driver Development Toolkit customers receive ongoing updates, as new operating systems, applications and printer architectures are introduced.

Example: When Microsoft changed to user-mode drivers in Windows XP and 2000, Software Imaging was the only approved third-party able to support this environment for more than 8 months after the change.

In addition CDA customers benefit from the inclusion of unique features such as ManageRight providing them with competitive market advantages. The latest release of CDA 4 adds PrintTicket/PrintCapabilities support for Windows Vista-signed and Windows XP-signed drivers.

CDA from Software Imaging: bringing control of the user interface, control of the device and outstanding performance – everything you need from a printer driver solution.
