● The PCL 6 printer driver can provide the best overall performance and access to your printer
features.
● The PCL 5 printer driver is recommended for general office monochrome and color printing.
● Use the PostScript (PS) driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-based programs such
as Adobe PhotoShop
® and CorelDRAW ® , for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS
flash font support.
NOTE The product automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.

and printing the first page or covers on different paper.

● Click the Help button.
● Press the F1 key on the computer keyboard.
