PCL printer drivers
Two kinds of PCL printer driver (PCL 5e and PCL 6) are included. These drivers allow your computer
to communicate with this machine via a printer language.
• Some applications may require installation of the PCL 5e printer driver. In this case, you can install
PCL 5e without having to install PCL 6.
