Available Windows Drivers
Your printer comes with Windows drivers for PCL and
PostScript(PS).
When to Use the PostScript Driver
If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing
PostScript graphics, choose the PostScript driver.
Performance will be faster and graphics will be printed at
their best quality.
When to Use the PCL Driver
If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print PostScript
(including ".eps" files) graphics, choose the PCL driver.
This will be more efficient and give good results.

Network Installation
Install the Ferrite Core
Important!
In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—“noise” that interferes with TVs or other appliances—you must place the
enclosed ferrite core on the network cable connected to your printer.
This safeguard is an FCC requirement.
Here's how to do it:
□ Disconnect the network cable from the printer, if necessary.
□ Loop the cable if necessary to keep the ferrite core in place.
□ Place the open core about 1 inch from the cable connector on the printer end.
□ Press the two halves of the core together until they click shut.
