PRINTER DRIVER SPECIFICATION LIST (page 58)

Printer driver type

PCL6, PCL5c: 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.

SPLC-c: This is the SHARP proprietary printer driver. The printer driver compresses the data in each print job before sending the job to the machine, enabling smooth printing.

(SPLC is an acronym for "SHARP Printer Language with Compression".)

PS: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.

(A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS printer driver. To install the PPD file, see the Software Setup Guide.)
