driver and standard TCP/IP settings:
PCL is a PDL used to print on an iR C6800 or iR C6800N from a PC.
- In the case of the iR C6800, this function will become available when a Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer
Kit-C1 (optional) is installed. (The function comes as standard with the iR C6800N.)
RAW mode is used for printing through port 9100.

9100 is valid for use of RAW mode.
- The appropriate settings will automatically be made when printer drivers are installed.
