Before You Start
This chapter describes the system environments required for using the PCL5c, PCL5e, and
PCL6 printer drivers. It also describes where to find help and information regarding the
installation and use of these drivers.
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.
1-2
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.
