Some printer models support FAST DRIVE. FAST DRIVE accelerates the job processing speed by using the GPU (graphics processing unit) instead of the CPU (central processing unit). It is available on some later versions of Fiery proServer Premium and requires a special license.

Command WorkStation provides both FAST DRIVE and non-FAST DRIVE printer drivers. If available, it is recommended that you always select a printer type with FAST DRIVE in its name. The older printer drivers are available to ensure compatibility and color consistency with calibration files created in earlier versions of Command WorkStation.

FAST DRIVE is supported only for base linearization files that were created in Fiery XF 6.5 or later. Calibration files that were created in Fiery XF 6.4 or earlier cannot be used with the FAST DRIVE printer driver.

In Job Editor, you can see in the Source File Information panel of the File tab whether your job has been accelerated using the FAST DRIVE printer driver.
