Select the correct printer driver for your needs

If you are using a Windows operating system, select a printer driver based on the way that
you use the MFP. Certain MFP features are available only in the PCL 6 drivers. See the
printer driver Help for available features.

●

Use the PCL 6 driver to take full advantage of MFP features. For general office printing,
the PCL 6 driver is recommended to provide optimum performance and print quality.

●

Use the PS driver if you are printing primarily from PostScript-specific programs such as
Adobe

®

and Corel

®

, for compatibility with PostScript Level 3 needs, or for PS flash font

support.

Note

The MFP automatically switches between PS and PCL printer languages.
