What about the V2 drivers?

Problem/Question
Users may ask you what is the difference between a driver and its V2 version. And which one they have to choose.

Solution/Work-Around
General information
In most of the cases where there is a driver and the same with the extension V2, it is not related to the hardware. So, both drivers would work. There is a reason why we build a V2 version instead of just edit and replace the driver (after an SDK update). With the changes, we might take away a feature or a setting from the driver which would make a lot of trouble for operators which are used to use this option since a while.

Simple rule-of-thumb
  1. Import PrintEnvironments when updating Ergosoft.
  2. Add the V2 diver for setting up a new printer.
Exception(s)
There might be (hardware updated) printers with a v2 in its name or printer control software with different versions. In this case, of course it is strongly recommended to use the corresponding driver. 
  1. MS JP1 v2
    (MS JP1 is based on the Mutoh ValueJet 1938WX | MS JP1 v2 is based on the successor model Mutoh XperJet 1682WR)
  2. Epson SureColor SC-V7000 V1.5
    (Updated printer control software)
