Select the correct printer driver for your needs

Select a printer driver based on the way that the printer is used. Certain printer features are available

only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer driver Help for available features.

Ŷ Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of printer features. For general office printing, the

PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print quality.

Ŷ Use the PCL 5 driver if backward compatibility with previous PCL printer drivers or older printers

is necessary.

Use the PS driver when printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as Adobe

and

Corel®, for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS CompactFlash font support.

NOTE The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.

Printer driver Help

Each printer driver has Help screens that can be activated by using the Help button, the F1 button on

the computer keyboard, or a question-mark symbol in the upper-right corner of the printer driver

(depending on the Windows operating system that you are using). You can also open printer-driver

Help by right-clicking any item in the driver, and then clicking What's This? These Help screens give

detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver Help is separate from software-program

Help.
