Print Drivers

There are numerous print drivers for this printer to enable it to be used on all the
popular computer operating systems. You can download the latest print drivers
from the Xerox website at www.xerox.com.
For Windows users there are around 20 different drivers. Your System
Administrator may have loaded specific drivers on your PC. However, if the
choice of driver is yours, the following information will help you decide which
driver is most suited to your workstation.
PCL
PCL drivers make smaller print files than postscript drivers because they use
fonts that are embedded in the machine. Therefore printing is faster. On
occasion, this may cause problems with fonts.
PostScript
PostScript drivers enable image scaling and other types of image manipulation,
options for printing graphics and font substitution. However, the print files are
large and take longer to process. PostScript drivers also provide font substitution
options.
Once you have decided upon the most appropriate print driver, install it on your
workstation in the usual way. If you do not know how to install drivers, consult
your System Administrator.
NOTE: You can load more than one print driver for the printer on your
workstation. Then, when you send a job to print, you can choose the
most appropriate print driver for the job.
Help is available on the print drivers through a Help button and the context
sensitive "What's This" indicated by the question mark (?) symbol.
When you press the Help button a menu is displayed containing the titles of the
options available on that tab. Select the option that you want to learn about and a
pop-up window will appear explaining the feature in detail.
To display context sensitive help click on the ? symbol. The ? symbol will attach
itself to your cursor. When you then click on the area of the screen you want to
learn about a pop-up window will appear containing information about that
feature.
