Included with your printer is a CD-ROM containing the printer
drivers for some of the most popular Windows software
applications. To operate your printer, you must install a printer
driver, which translates data from your application into data
that the printer understands.
The CD-ROM shipped with your printer contains the following:
•
PCL 6 printer driver
for Windows. Use this driver to take full
advantage of your printer’s features.
•
PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file
for Windows and
Macintosh to allow installation of the PostScript driver.
