This section gives an overview of the printer drivers.
4.1.1 The PCL 6 printer drivers
The PCL 6 printer drivers are installed on the Windows operating systems to provide a
standard interface between an application program and the DC 706/705/606/605/506/505
series printer. By installing these printer drivers, print jobs are converted into the PJL and
PCL 6 printer languages and then printed through the printer device.
These printer drivers are system specific, each will only run on either Windows 95/
Windows 98/Windows Me, or Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000. There are altogether two
different printer drivers provided:
• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows Me
• PCL 6 printer driver for Windows NT 4.0/Windows 2000
The printer drivers for this DC 706/705/606/605/506/505 series printer are named
"DC 706/606/506 CP".
4.1.2 Installation/configuration methods
The methods of installing/configuring all these different printer drivers as well as the
procedures for printing using these drivers are basically the same. Regardless of the
operating system (OS) you are using, the basic steps are similar except for the look of
some of the dialog boxes. Only one printer driver will be used to discuss these
operations in this chapter but any differences among these drivers will be pointed out.
4.1.3 Settings on the DC 706/705/606/605/506/505 series printer
Make sure the PJL switch for the interface is turned to ON . If the PJL switch is turned to
OFF , you may not obtain the desired printing results when using some driver features.
