Features of the Printer Driver
UFR II Printer Driver:
Using the UFR II printer driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within the printer
are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The
workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through
optimization.
PCL Printer Driver:
The PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers can be used with most kinds of business application software. The
PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, the PCL5e printer driver is for black-and-white printers, and the PCL6
printer driver is for both color and black-and-white printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5c and PCL5e,
and offers superior printing quality and speed. The PCL5e printer driver is provided as standard with black-
and-white printers.
PS Printer Driver:
The PS printer driver converts print data from applications into data for use with PS printers, and sends it to
the printer. As well as converting print data, it can also enable you to configure settings relating to finishing
and detailed settings such as color adjustment, and provides an appropriate print environment for desktop
publishing and publishing on demand.
