## Printer Device Driver

[prev][next][parent][TOC]

### Changing User Interface

The Omni driver has a generic user-interface, stringtable, and help panels that can be modified to better represent your driver.

Many hardware companies choose to (and can) modify the user interface to appear the same as that user interface may appear on other operating system platforms. Also, many companies wish to add their corporate logos to many of the printer panels for brand recognition. The names of particular printer model features and options may not appear in the Omni driver stringtable and can be customized with new strings. Often copyrighted names are added when modifying the driver.

It is beneficial to use the original Omni driver files, omni.rc, omni.dlg, and omni.ipf, because IBM has translated these files into 13 or more country-specific languages, and these files are available to you through the Driver Development Support Center (DDSC) and the DUDE bulletin board system.
