PRINTER DRIVERS

When using the printer function of the machine, you can configure a variety of settings in the printer driver properties window. This section introduces the types of printer drivers and the printer driver settings.

Printer driver types

PCL printer driver*1

The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5c printer driver.

PS printer driver*2

This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated and enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.

For detailed information on using the drivers, see "PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE" in the Printer Guide.

*1 Provided standard with the machine.

*2 For use when the PS3 expansion kit (MX-PKX1) is installed.
