PCL Setup options
PCL (Printer Control Language) printer drivers are provided with the Pi5500 on the
User Software CD. PCL Setup allows you to set defaults to control printer output.
These defaults can be overridden by the user from within an application, but they
determine how a job will be printed in the absence of other information.
