Which Printer Driver to Use? _________

Windows

Your printer comes with drivers for

PCL

Adobe

®

PostScript

®

(PS).

You can install only one driver, or all of these drivers.
Your choice depends upon your printing requirements.

PCL

Choose this if you use TrueType fonts, and you do not

print PostScript (including “.eps” files) graphics.
This is more efficient and gives good results.

PostScript

Choose this if you use PostScript fonts or print

PostScript graphics.
Performance is faster. Graphics print at their best

quality.

If neither driver seems to cover all your needs, you should

install both drivers. Select the same printer port (LPT1 or

Network Port) for both drivers during the installation.
Set the driver you plan to use most of the time to be your

Windows default driver. Most applications allow you to choose

a different printer from within the print dialog, so you can use

the alternative driver for printing whenever you need to.

NOTE

The line art graphics in this manual are PostScript.
If you plan to print parts of this manual, choose the

PostScript driver. Otherwise, the line art graphics

print at low resolution. The print quality may not be

satisfactory.
