Considerations

USB Versus Parallel

Installation instructions are included for both USB and
parallel connections. We recommend using a USB

connection, as your printer is performance optimized for a
USB interface.

Printer Drivers Available

Model 5400

Model C5400 comes with a PCL driver.

Model C5400n

Model C5400n comes with a PCL driver and a Postscript
emulation driver.

When to Use the PCL Driver

If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print
PostScript
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.
