Deviations
Deviations are specially adapted products, created as a special-order. Most often, the driver or
the firmware is deviated; sometimes the hardware (printer) is also changed. If you have a
deviated driver, firmware or printer, be very careful about updating the driver or firmware. A
deviated driver or firmware will have a version number with “d” near the end, similar to the
following:
Firmware Version: 1.3.d1
Driver Version: 1.0.d2
Always check with your service provider to determine whether to install the update. Do not
update until you are sure that the update supports the special features of your product.
Deviations might be called by a different name in your organization. Other names might include
RPQ, custom, or special. RPQ stands for Request for Price Quotation, which is one of the first
steps in developing an agreement to create the deviated product.
