Addendum 8-4 Xerox DocuPrint P8ex Service Manual
PCL 6 Emulation
PCL 6 is a raster based printer language. PCL 6 allows the P8ex to use memory more efficiently.
However, there is no way to get a legible print file to view or edit with PCL 6. The PLC 6 emulation will
not allow printing from DOS, unless there is a PCL 6 DOS driver made for an application, (this is unlikely
to happen). This is why PCL 5e emulation is also available on the P8ex printer. Refer to table 1.
