Introduction
The WorkCentre™ 5735/5740/5745/5755/5765/5775/5790 will produce high quality prints from your
electronic documents. The advanced print features of this device will enable you to create
professionally finished documents at the click of a mouse button.
You access the printer from your PC application in
the normal way through a print driver. A print
driver converts the code contained in an electronic
document into a language that the printer can
understand. While you can use generic print drivers
on this printer they will not enable all the
features.This is why you should use the print drivers
that accompany this printer.
For instructions on using the basic Print features refer to Printing a Document on page 152.
There are numerous print drivers for this device to enable it to be used on all the popular computer
operating systems. They are provided on a disc with your device or you can download the latest
versions from the Xerox website www.xerox.com.
Instructions for installing the WorkCentre™ 5735/5740/5745/5755/5765/5775/5790 and print drivers

Print and Fax Drivers
For Windows users there several drivers available. Your System Administrator may have loaded specific
drivers on your PC. However, if the choice of driver is yours, the following information will help you
decide which driver is most suited to your workstation.
The print drivers available for your device are PostScript, PCL, PCL6 and PPD.
PostScript gives you greater ability to scale and manipulate images; it offers more precision with
high-end graphics. PostScript also provides you with different types of error-handling and font
substitution options.
PCL (Printer Command Language) generally has fewer advanced features than PostScript.
However, using PCL enables you to process most jobs faster.
PPD Driver a PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file which is a readable text file that provides a
uniform approach to specifying special features for print drivers that interpret PostScript. Xerox
provides PostScript PPDs for use with generic Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista PostScript print
drivers.
