Printer drivers

Printer drivers access the product’s features and allow the computer
to communicate with the printer. This section discusses the printer
drivers installed with the product software.

Choosing a printer driver

Choose a printer driver based on the way you use the product.

l

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

l

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

l

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

Note

If your printer has PS capabilities, the printer automatically switches
between PS emulation and PCL printer languages depending on the
driver you have selected.

If you need help accessing your printer driver, see “Gaining access to
the printer driver” on page 105.
