About the Printer Drivers
The PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer drivers are installed on the Windows operating systems to
provide a standard interface between an application program and the Xerox DC 400/
350/250 printer device. By installing these printer drivers, print jobs can be converted into
the PJL and PCL 5e/PCL 6 printer languages and then print through the printer device.
These drivers are also equipped with the direct fax feature which sends fax directly from
your PC through the printer.
These printer drivers are system specific, each will only run on either Windows 3.1/95/98
or Windows NT 4.0. There are altogether six printer drivers included:
• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 3.1
• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows 95/98
• PCL 5e printer driver for Windows NT 4.0
• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 3.1
• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 95/98
• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows NT 4.0
The methods of installing/configuring the PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer drivers as well as the
procedures for printing/faxing using these drivers are basically the same. Regardless of the
operating system (OS) you are in, the basic steps are similar except for the look of some
of the graphics. Therefore, only one printer driver will be used to discuss these operations
in this chapter but any differences among the PCL 5e and PCL 6 printer drivers will be
pointed out.
Make sure the PJL switch for the interface is turned to ON. If the PJL switch is turned to
OFF, the following functions will be disabled:
• JOB/EOJ-Job separator
• Fax function
• Collate
• Job offset
• Staple function
• Resolution
• Image enhancement
• Economode
• PCL XL emulation
