Device Settings PDL (Page Description Language) A Page Description Language (PDL) specifies the contents and layout of a printed page. In Device Settings, you can choose from PCL XL, (Printer Command Language XL), PCL 5e, KPDL (an emulation of PostScript printing), or PDF (Portable Document Format). The printer default is PCL XL, which is suitable for most printing purposes. When using the XPS driver in Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, XPS is the only PDL selection. After you select a PDL, the selection appears in the lower corner of the Preview image. In GDI compatible mode, vector graphics are rasterized for printing as bitmap images. Use the GDI compatible mode option to improve the output quality of the graphic created by the application. Note: To add PDF to the list of PDL choices, you must install the Output to PDF plug-in. In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as a restricted user. PDL Options The PDL options, available in the PDL Settings dialog box, are accessed in Device Settings. PCL XL The most recent version of HP PCL and PCL 6. This PDL includes PCL 5e features.
