Driver Development

One of the major area of Hexagon Software is Driver development , We have developed Driver for printer and other peripheral devices and on different platform .

A device driver, or software driver, is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware is connected. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface.

Developing a Driver:

Writing a robust device driver requires a great deal of expertise and precise understanding of how drivers are supposed to interact with the operating system or kernel. Our developers have extensive experience developing drivers for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. We have developed drivers in areas ranging from networking to security to advanced storage access. Most of our device driver projects have been for Unix, Linux, Windows 2000, Windows NT , Windows XP and Windows Vista. The driver architecture of Win9X, Win 2000, Windows Vista and Win NT/XP/ME is quite different and must be accounted for when designing drivers for these operating systems.

Printer Driver

The Printer driver is an application that works as a virtual printer . This is an application that translates the file being printed and sends the translated instructions and data to the server based printer.And with all these information about the page being printed , it prints the page . This application generates a image for each printed page and then sends the print data and thumbnails to the server using FTP.

To generate image, this system interprets all postscript data received by it. This system designed exclusively for use with PostScript products, provide the ultimate printing solution for user’s color, text, graphic, or image-intensive documents. Whether user are a Windows or Macintosh user, the printer drivers give you desktop control of all of your PostScript printer's features. This application works for ekopi.com, In which user only has to get registered and getting fun of printing any thing any where .
