Pcl5E Printer Driver - NEC SuperScript 1800 User Manual

PCL5e Printer Driver

There are two PCL5e property windows for computers
running the Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
• NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL5e Properties window
• NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL5e Document Default
Properties window
The PCL5e Properties window contains driver properties that
are used by all software applications on your computer. It can
be opened from the Windows NT 4.0 Printers window.
The PCL5e Document Default Properties window can only be
opened from inside a software application. The default
properties only affect the open document within the software
application.

The NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL5e Properties window
contains tabs that divide the PCL5e driver properties into six
categories.
• General

• Scheduling
• Sharing

Figures shown on the next page display each tab in the
NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL5e Properties window.
