Printer Drivers Available

Which Printer Driver?

Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and 
Postscript. You can install either driver or both, depending 
on your application.

When to Use the PCL Driver

If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript  
graphics (including “.eps” files), choose the PCL driver. 
This will be more efficient and give good results.

When to Use the Postscript Emulation 
Driver

If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing PostScript 
graphics, choose the Postscript emulation driver. 
Performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at 
their best quality.

When to Install Both Drivers

If your applications vary, you could choose to install both 
drivers, then select the one you plan to use most to be your 
Windows default driver. Choose the alternate driver from 
within the print dialog when you need to.

If you install both drivers, simply select the same printer 
port (LPT1 or Network Port) during the installation.

Readme File

Please refer to the readme file on the Drivers CD 
supplied with your printer for the latest information on 
printer drivers.
