installation notes, the readme file, and the late-breaking readme file to see if the printer driver is
supported. If it is not supported, contact the manufacturer or distributor of the program that you
are using and request a driver for the MFP.

Choose the correct printer driver for your needs
Choose a printer driver based on the way that you use the MFP. Certain MFP features are
available only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the printer driver Help for available features.
● Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the MFP features. For general office printing,
the PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print quality.
● Use the PCL 5e driver if you need backward compatibility with previous PCL printer drivers
or older products.
● Use the PS driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as
Adobe and Corel, for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS font DIMM
support.
Note The MFP automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
Printer driver Help
Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated by clicking the Help button, pressing
the
F1 key, or clicking the question mark symbol in the upper-right corner in the printer driver
(depending on the Windows operating system in use). These help screens give detailed
information about the specific driver. Printer driver Help is separate from the software program
Help.
