This section gives an overview of the printer drivers.
4.1.1
The PCL 6 printer drivers
The PCL 6 printer drivers are installed on the Windows operating systems to provide a
standard interface between an application program and the printer device. By installing these
printer drivers, print jobs are converted into the PJL and PCL 6 printer languages and then
print through the printer device.
These printer drivers are system specific, each will only run on either Windows 95/Windows
98/Windows Me, or Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000. There are altogether two different printer
drivers provided:
PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me
PCL 6 printer driver for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000
4.1.2
Installation/configuration methods
The methods of installing/configuring all these different printer drivers as well as the
procedures for printing using these drivers are basically the same. Regardless of the
4
operating system (OS) you are using, the basic steps are similar except for the look of some of
the dialog boxes. Only one printer driver will be used to discuss these operations in this
chapter but any differences among these drivers will be pointed out.
4.1.3
Settings on the printer
Make sure the PJL switch for the interface is turned to ON. If the PJL switch is turned to OFF,
you may not obtain the desired printing results when using some driver features.
