PCL printer drivers
Printer drivers allow the computer to communicate with the printer via a
printer language. Two kinds of PCL printer drivers, PCL 6 and PCL 5e, are
included in the CD-ROM comes with this machine. We recommend the PCL
6 as your first choice. However, some of your applications might require the
installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install PCL 5e in
addition to the PCL 6.
