Continuous export
The term "continuous export" refers to the ability of the print driver to copy the latest print-driver settings
back to the working copy of the preconfiguration file. Using this feature, the exported values can be
transferred when a compatible version of the print driver is used to upgrade the print driver. For
instance, if the orientation is set to Landscape for a driver originally installed in Windows XP, then the
orientation setting automatically remains Landscape when the operating system is upgraded to
Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008. The continuous export
feature functions transparently from the user's perspective and works only between print drivers of
identical product models.
NOTE: Not all of the driver parameters can be exported; however, the exportable components are
always the same as the components that can be preconfigured.
