4.1About the Printer Drivers

This section gives an overview of the printer drivers.

4.1.1The PCL 6 Printer Drivers

The PCL 6 printer drivers are installed on Windows operating systems to provide a standard interface between an application program and the printer. By installing these printer drivers, print jobs are converted into the PJL and PCL 6 printer languages and then printed through the printer device.

These printer drivers are system specific, each will only run on either Windows 95/98/ Me, or Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000. There are altogether two different printer drivers provided:

¥PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 95/98/Me

¥PCL 6 printer driver for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000

4.1.2Installation/Configuration Methods

The methods of installing/configuring these different printer drivers as well as the procedures for printing using these drivers are basically the same. Regardless of the operating system (OS) you are using, the basic steps are similar except for the look of some of the dialog boxes. Only one printer driver will be used to discuss these operations in this chapter but any differences among these drivers will be pointed out.

4.1.3Settings on the Printer

Make sure the PJL switch for the interface is turned to ON. If the PJL switch is turned to OFF, the following functions will be disabled:

¥Collate

¥Staple

¥Punch

¥Image Enhancement

To turn the PJL switch:

1.Select Settings/Meter Check on the control panel of the printer.

2.Select Tools Mode in LCD display.

3.Select Print/Scan Mode Setting.

4.Select Port Settings.

5.Select IPP.

And you can reach to the PJL Switch.
