What Are Printer Drivers?

This system is compatible with the PS Plug-in Driver, PPD Driver, and PCL Driver.

These printer drivers are dedicated printer drivers that support the system's various functions. They acquire color conversion information, authentication information, and tray and paper information of the system, as well as information from the mounting options.

Acquiring this system information allows you to make full use of the system's performance and achieve high-quality printing.

The PS Plug-in Driver can also be used for printing from general applications, but it is especially recommended to use it when printing from Adobe applications that support PostScript.

The PPD Driver can also be used for printing from general applications, but it is recommended to use it when printing from applications that support PostScript in Windows.

The PCL Driver is suitable for printing from general applications that do not support PostScript.
