❖PCL printer drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are provided with this printer. We recommend PCL 6 as your first choice.
Note
❒ Some of your applications might require the installation of the PCL 5e
printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in addition to PCL 6.
⇒p.18 “Installing the PCL 6/5e Printer Driver”
❖PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files for Windows
The printer specific functions can be used by installing the PPD file specific for the printer.
