❖PCL Printer Drivers

Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer using a printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are included in the CD-ROM. We recommend PCL 6 as your first choice. Howev- er, some of your applications might require installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you might configure to install and print by using PCL 5e in addition to PCL 6.

Reference

For more information on installing the PCL 6/5e printer driver, see “In- stalling the Printer Driver and Software” in the “Setup Guide”.

❖Adobe PostScript Printer Drivers and PPD Files

The Adobe PostScript printer drivers and the PPD files are included in the CD-ROM that comes with this printer. The Adobe PostScript printer driver allows the computer to communicate with the printer using a printer lan- guage. The PPD files allow the printer driver to enable printer specific func- tions.
