Driver Emulations
Kyocera printer drivers support PCL and KPDL emulations. PCL, or Printer
Command Language was developed by Hewlett Packard® (HP) to provide a
simple and effective method for controlling a printer. In this language, the printer
commands appear as embedded escape sequence codes in the print job data
interpreted by the printer. Kyocera PCL drivers allow for font scaling, outline
fonts, and vector graphic printing. PCL is not supported on Macintosh and UNIX
based systems. Note: The factory default emulation for Kyocera printers is PCL.
If the selected printer driver does not match the printer emulation, the printer
emulation must be set for PCL, KPDL or KPDL (Auto) at the printer's front
panel.
PCL 5c
Kyocera color drivers utilize the PCL 5c color printer language. This printer
command language supports the commands necessary for color printing, and
supports PJL (Printer Job Language) commands, which allow for bi-directional
communication between the printer and the computer. PCL 5c also provides
complete backwards driver compatibility with earlier PCL versions, and offers a
wide selection of fonts for use with Microsoft Windows applications.
PCL XL
Kyocera XL printer drivers utilize the PCL 6 printer language. PCL XL drivers
offer improved graphics printing, reduced file sizes, better print speeds, and
faster return to application than the PCL 5e driver. Drawbacks include no
backwards compatibility and the fact that not all Kyocera printer models support
XL printer drivers.
KPDL
Kyocera Page Description Language (KPDL) represents Kyocera's emulation of
PostScript printing. Because the printer is set to a factory default of PCL, you
must change the emulation from the printer's control panel or send the printer a
command. PostScript print drivers have strong graphics reproduction
performance and usually print slower than PCL drivers.
