Printer Drivers
Printer drivers access the printer features and allow the computer
to communicate with the printer (via a printer language).

Check the ReadMe file provided on the compact disc for additional
software included and supported languages.
Certain printer features are available only from the PCL 6 driver.
See the printer software help for availability of features.
