Which Printer Driver to Use?
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and Adobe® PostScript® (PS). You can install either of these, or both if you wish. Which driver you choose depends on your application.
•If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript (including “.eps” files) graphics, choose the PCL driver.
This is more efficient and gives good results.
•If you use PostScript fonts or print PostScript graphics, choose the PostScript driver. In this situation, performance is faster and graphics print at their best quality.
NOTE
The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript.
If you plan to print parts of this manual, choose the PostScript driver. Otherwise, the line art graphics print at low resolution. The print quality may not be satisfactory.
If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should install both drivers. Select the same printer port (LPT1 or Network Port) for both drivers during the installation.
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your Windows default driver. Most applications allow you to choose a different printer from within the print dialog, so you can use the alternative driver for printing whenever you need to.
