Choose the Right Printer Driver for Your Needs
Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.
zUse the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer’s features. Unless
backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended.
zUse the PCL 5e driver if you want print results to look comparable to those
from older printers. Certain features are not available in this driver. (This PCL 5e driver is not backward compatible with older printers.)
z Use the PS driver for compatibility with PostScript Level 2 needs. Certain features are not available in this driver.
zThe printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
