Printer Drivers

A printer driver is software that you load on your workstation or server. To achieve the
best results from your color printer, it's essential that you use the proper printer driver for
your operating system and printer configuration.
Printer drivers provide access to features unique to your printer. Although there are many
print options and features that are a part of the software applications you use, your printer
also contains many distinctive features of its own. For example, your custom printer
drivers enable you to use the SnapColor feature that is available in your printer.
You may use either the Adobe PostScript printer driver (recommended) or the PCL5c
printer driver. The PostScript printer driver allows access to more of the exclusive and
powerful Xerox printing features.
The table below lists the supported drivers by PDL (Page Description Language) along with
