SUPERSCRIPT SERIES PRINTER DRIVER OPTIONS

2.

PostScript 3 versus PCL5e Printer Driver

Use the

PostScript 3

printer driver for color

documents that contain complex graphic images or

extensive page layout formatting. The PostScript 3

driver has more options and delivers better graphic

processing.

Use the

PCL5e

printer driver for monochrome

documents that contain mostly text and limited

formatting. The PCL5e driver handles this type of

document well and delivers faster printing than the

PostScript 3 driver.

NOTE:

For color printing, you must use the

PostScript 3 printer driver. The PCL5e printer driver

is for monochrome printing only.
