❖ PCL Printer Drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a
printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are
included on the CD-ROM that comes with this printer. We recommend PCL 6
as your first choice. However, some of the applications might require instal-
lation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in ad-
dition to PCL 6.
Reference
For more information about installing the PCL 6/5e printer driver, see P.72
“Installing the PCL 6/5e Printer Driver”.
