Standard Driver vs. Advanced Driver

The standard OKIPAGE 12i (PCL 5, HP6P) driver is ideal for most Windows documents. However, we have also provided an advanced (PCL-XL) driver that optimizes the printing of complex graphics in the Windows environment. Additional printer memory may be required to print complex pages and to take full advantage of the features offered by the advanced driver.
