PRINTER PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE The machine is equipped standard with a full color printing function. To enable printing from your computer, a printer driver must be installed. See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment. Environment Printer driver type Windows PCL6, PCL5c The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6 printer driver, use the PCL5c printer driver. Macintosh PS This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer. (A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS printer driver.) Remarks Can be used in the standard machine configuration. The PS3 expansion kit must be installed. Installing the printer driver in a Windows environment To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Windows environment, see "2. SETUP IN A WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide. The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver. The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using. Installing the printer driver in a Macintosh environment In a Macintosh environment, the PS3 expansion kit must be installed to use the machine as a network printer. To install the printer driver and configure settings in a Macintosh environment, see "3. SETUP IN A MACINTOSH ENVIRONMENT" in the Software Setup Guide. 3-3 Contents
