PRINTER FUNCTION OF THE MACHINE To use the machine's print function, the expansion kit must be installed in the machine in accordance with your environment. Printing will be possible from your computer after you have installed the printer driver from the CD-ROM that accompanies the expansion kit. See the table below to determine which printer driver to use in your environment. Environment Printer driver type Windows PCL6, PCL5e The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5e 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 PCL5e 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 The printer expansion kit is required. The printer expansion kit and PS3 expansion kit are required. This manual assumes that the printer expansion kit has been installed. Print functions that require the PS3 expansion kit also require installation of the printer expansion kit. 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. 6
