Installing Software

Perform the following procedure to install the printer and fax drivers. If you install these drivers, you can print and fax from your computer. Printer drivers are divided into two types: PCL and UFRII LT.

●PCL: This is the Hewlett-Packard’s PCL printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 drivers. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers are for black-and-white printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e and offers superior printing quality and speed. This machine supports the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers.

●UFRII LT: This is the Canon UFRII LT printer driver. Using this driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through optimization.
