Ease of Use

PCL AND POSTSCRIPT DRIVERS

As with control panels and touch screens, print-driver design can vary enormously from manufacturer-to- manufacturer. And, as with control panels and touch screens, how easy it is—or isn’t—to make selections in the print driver and navigate through it can significantly affect user productivity.

Most vendors provide an emulation of PCL (printer control language) developed by the Hewlett-Packard Company. Some may also provide an emulation of PostScript, developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, or they may license PostScript directly from Adobe. While the Adobe PostScript driver is not the most user-friendly of print drivers, the advantage is that many users are already familiar with it. Alternately, some manufacturers may use an emulation of PostScript and design their own print-driver user interface, or may license PostScript from Adobe and also design their own print-driver interface.

PRINT DRIVER DIALOGUE SCREENS

The print driver dialogue screen for both the PCL and PostScript drivers are virtually the same with some minor differences. The first tab on both the PCL and PostScript drivers is the Page/Output. This tab provides basic options such as job type, paper options, 2-sided printing, and stapling. The image of the device on the left indicates how the device is currently set up.

In the “Job Type” drop-down menu on the top left are options for Normal Print, Secure Print, Sample Set, Delay Print, and Saved Job.

Normal Print: Prints the job immediately without requiring a pass code.

Secure Print: Prints the job only after the user enters their pass code at the printer's control panel.

Sample Set: Prints one copy of the job as a sample and holds the remaining copies of the job at the printer until you release them from the printer's control panel.
