PCL printer drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a
printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are
provided with this printer. We recommend PCL 6 as your first choice.
Note
Some of your applications might require the installation of the PCL 5e
printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in addition to PCL 6.
