Choosing the appropriate printer driver

Choose a printer driver based on the way you plan to use the MFP’s printing features.

● Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of printing features. The PCL 6 driver is recommended unless backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary.

● Use the PCL 5e driver if you want printed output to resemble older printers, or for font DIMM support.

● Use the PS driver for compatibility with PS 3. Certain features are not available in this driver.

If all drivers are installed, the printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
