Considerations

USB Versus Parallel

Installation instructions are included for both USB and 
parallel connections. 

We recommend using a USB 

connection, as your printer is performance optimized for a 
USB interface

.

Printer Drivers Available

Model 5400

Model C5400 comes with a PCL driver.

Model C5400n

Model C5400n comes with a PCL driver and a Postscript 
emulation driver. 

When to Use the PCL Driver

If you use TrueType fonts and you do not print 
PostScript

®

 graphics (including “.eps” files), choose the 

PCL driver. This will be more efficient and give good 
results.

When to Use the Postscript Emulation Driver

If you use PostScript fonts or you will be printing 
PostScript graphics, choose the Postscript emulation 
driver. Performance will be faster and graphics will be 
printed at their best quality.

Service and Support

First …

Consult the store where you purchased your printer.
