Printer Drivers

Printer drivers access the printer’ s f eatures and allow the compu ter to communicate with the printer. Choose a printer driver based on the way yo u us e the printer.

Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of the printer’s features. Unless complete back ward compatibility with previous PCL drivers or older printers is necessary, the PCL 6 driver is recommended.

Use the PCL 5e driver if you need print results to look consistent with those from older HP LaserJet printers. Certain features are not availab le in th is driver. (Do not use the PCL 5e driver pro vided with this printer with older printers.)

Use the PS driver for compatibility with PS needs. Certain printer features are not available in this driver.

Note

The printer automatically switches between PostScript Level 2 emulation and PCL printer languages depending on the driv er you have selected.

If you need help accessing your printer driver, see Accessing the Printer Driver.

Each printer driver has help screens that can be activated from the Help button, the F1 key, or a question mark symbol in the upper right corner of the printer driver (depending on the Windows operating system used).
