PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE

To use the machine's print function, the expansion kit must be installed in the machine in accordance with your
environment. Printing will be possible from your computer after you have installed the printer driver from the CD-ROM
that accompanies the expansion kit.
See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment.
Environment
Windows
Macintosh
This manual assumes that the printer expansion kit has been installed. Print functions that require the PS3 expansion kit also
require installation of the printer expansion kit.
Installing the printer driver in a Windows environment
To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Windows environment, see "2. SETUP IN A WINDOWS
ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide.
The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver.
The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.
Installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment
In a Macintosh environment, the PS3 expansion kit must be installed to use the machine as a network printer.
To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Macintosh environment, see "3. SETUP IN A MACINTOSH
ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide.
PCL6, PCL5e
The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5e printer
control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer
driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6
printer driver, use the PCL5e printer driver.
PS
This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language
developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to
be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.
(A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS
printer driver.)
