PDL (Page Description Language)

A Page Description Language (PDL) specifies the contents and layout of a printed page. In Device Settings, you can choose from PCL XL, (Printer Command Language XL), PCL 5c, KPDL (an emulation of PostScript printing), or PDF (Portable Document Format). The printer default is PCL XL, which is suitable for most printing purposes. When using the XPS driver in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, XPS is the only PDL selection. After you select a PDL, the selection appears in the lower corner of the Preview image.

In GDI compatible mode, vector graphics are rasterized for printing as bitmap images. Use the GDI compatible mode option to improve the output quality of the graphic created by the application.

Note: To add PDF to the list of PDL choices, you must install the Output to

PDF plug-in.

In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as a restricted user.

PDL Options

The PDL options, available in the PDL Settings dialog box, are accessed in

Device Settings.
