Printer Driver Installation

Use the following instructions to install the PCL 6 and/or PCL 5e printer drivers on a Windows-based PC. The printer 
driver enables you to control the DocuPrint P8ex’s features and capabilities (see the table on the next page). Use the 
driver’s on-line help for a complete description of its functionality. If necessary, consult your Windows 
documentation for instructions on accessing the driver.

For other software installation procedures, including printer utilities, see the section 

“Software Utilities Installation” 

(page 1-12). For full details on the printer software, consult the 

Reference Guide
