NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL6 Default Window
The NEC SuperScript 1800 PCL6 Default window contains
tabs that divide the PCL6 driver properties into six
categories.
• Printer
• Overlays
• Watermarks
• Paper
• Graphics
• Finishing
Driver properties in the PCL6 Default window can only be
adjusted from inside a software application and only affect a
document opened by that application.
