Select the correct printer driver

Printer drivers allow you to gain access to the device features and allow the computer to communicate
with the device (using a printer language).

The device uses the PCL 5, PCL 6, and HP postscript level 3 emulation printer description language
(PDL) drivers.

Use the PCL 6 printer driver for the best overall performance.

Use the PCL 5 printer driver for general office printing.

Use the HP postscript level 3 emulation driver for printing from postscript level 3 emulation needs,
or for postscript flash font support.
