Introduction

1
The Canon PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers enable users of Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003 to print from any Windows application and make full use of their Canon printers. (Although the machines supported by these printer drivers have multiple functions, they will be referred to as "printers" in this guide.)
Canon provides you with three types of printer drivers: Adobe Systems' PS
Before You Start
(PostScript) 3 emulation printer driver, Hewlett-Packard's PCL (Printer Control Language) printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers, and Canon's UFR II (Ultra Fast Rendering II) printer driver.
PS
The PS printer driver is well-suited for printing from Adobe Systems software, and offers superior performance for printing high-quality text and graphics.
PCL
The PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers can be used with most kinds of business application software. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers are for black-and-white printers. PCL 6 is an advanced version of PCL5e, and offers superior printing quality and speed. The PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers provided as standard with black-and-white printers.
UFR II
Using the UFR II printer driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through optimization.

You can update your printer driver software and acquire information about Canon products on the Canon home page (http://www.usa.canon.com). Driver software is updated every few months.
IMPORTANT
The available printer drivers may vary, depending on the machine and the version of Windows that you are using.
For information on the machines supported by the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers, see "Supported Canon Products," on p. 1-3.

Installing the Printer Driver

Before using the printer, you must install the PCL5c, PCL5e, or PCL6 printer drivers for it. For color printers, install the PCL5c printer driver, and for black-and-white printers, install either the PCL5e or the PCL6 printer driver. The installation
Getting Started
procedures for all of the printer drivers are the same.
Refer to the figure below in order to decide which procedure is necessary and read the corresponding pages in this manual.
With the Installer
To manually configure the printer port
Standard Installation,"
See " on p. 2-3.
2-2
Without the Installer
Installing the Software
To automatically find a network printer port
To configure a USB printer port
To install the printer driver for a local or network printer
To install the printer driver through a USB connection
See "Dynamic Installation," on p. 2-11.
See "USB Standard Installation (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/ Server 2003)," on p. 2-24 of "USB Connection Installation (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/ Server 2003)."
See "Using the Add Printer Wizard," on p. 2-21.
Depending on your OS, see "Plug and Play Installation" (p. 2-26 to p. 2-32) of "USB Connection Installation (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/ Server 2003)."
IMPORTANT
For Windows NT 4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003, log on as the Administrator when you install the driver.
To install a printer driver using the Installer in Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 6.0 or later must be installed.
If you use the Installer, you can also update existing drivers simultaneously installing a new driver, or update existing drivers without installing a new driver. Canon machines whose printer drivers can be updated are listed under "Supported Canon Products," on p. 1-3.
Although the installation process described in this manual refers to the [PCL] folder on the CD-ROM, the CD-ROM you have been supplied with may not have this folder, depending on the printer you are using.
Standard Installation
Standard installation is when you select an existing printer port manually.
You can also install a network printer or set up a shared printer by following the procedure below.
NOTE
If you are using a printer connected to a network using TCP/IP protocol, you can automatically search for a port to install the printer driver. For instructions, see "Dynamic Installation," on p. 2-11.
