❖ 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
provided with this printer. We recommend PCL 6 as your first choice.
Note
❒ Some of your applications might require the installation of the PCL 5e
printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in addition to PCL 6.
