Printer Software
Choose the Right Printer Driver for Your Needs
For Windows, choose a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.
! Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer’s features. Unless
backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is
necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended.
! Use the PCL 5e driver if you want print results to look comparable to those
from older printers.
! Use the PS driver for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs.
! The printer automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
For the Macintosh, use the Apple LaserWriter 8 Driver, which is a PS driver.
Printer Driver Help
Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated either from the Help
button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper right corner in the
printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used). These help
screens give detailed information about the specific driver. Printer driver help
is separate from the software application help.
