Standard Driver vs. Advanced Driver
The standard OKIPAGE 12i (PCL 5, HP6P) driver is ideal for most
Windows documents. However, we have also provided an advanced
(PCL-XL) driver that optimizes the printing of complex graphics in the
Windows environment. Additional printer memory may be required to
print complex pages and to take full advantage of the features offered by
the advanced driver.
