A Page Description Language (PDL) specifies the contents and layout of a
printed page. In the Device Settings tab, you can choose from PCL XL,
(Printer Command Language XL), PCL 5e, KPDL (an emulation of PostScript
printing), or PDF (Portable Document Format). The printer default is PCL XL,
which is suitable for most printing purposes. After you select a PDL, the
selection appears in the lower corner of the Preview image.
In GDI compatible mode, vector graphics are rasterized for printing as bitmap
images. Use the GDI compatible mode option to improve the output quality of
the graphic created by the application.
Note: To add PDF to the list of PDL choices, you must install the Output to
PDF plug-in.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as
a restricted user.
The PDL options, available in the PDL Settings dialog box, are accessed in
Device Settings.
