Printer drivers
A printer driver is a software component that provides access to printer features and provides the
means for the computer to communicate with the printer. For help using your printer driver, see
Gaining access to printer driver settings
Select a printer driver based on the way you use the printer.
●
Use the PCL 6 printer driver to take full advantage of the printer features. Unless complete
backward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6
driver is recommended.
●
Use the PostScript (PS) printer driver for compatibility with PS needs. Certain printer features
are not available in this printer driver. The printer automatically switches between PS 3
emulation and PCL printer languages depending on the driver you have selected.
Using Help
The printer driver has Help dialog boxes that can be activated from the Help button in the printer
driver, the F1 key on the computer keyboard, or the question mark symbol (?) in the upper-right
corner of the printer driver. These Help dialog boxes give detailed information about the specific
printer driver. Help for the printer driver is separate from the Help for your program.
