❖ PCL printer drivers
Two kinds of PCL printer drivers: PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are included on the CD-
ROM that comes with this machine. These drivers allow the computer to com-
municate with the machine via a printer language. We recommend PCL 6 as
your first choice.
Note
❒ Some applications may require installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In
this case, you can install PCL 5e without having to install PCL 6.
