General Description
The PCL Printer Driver is required to send print data from a Windows computer to your machine.
The properties window of the PCL Printer Driver can be used to specify print settings such as the print
orientation and page size. The PCL Printer Driver also provides a range of easy-to-use layout functions that
allow you to setup printing to suit your requirements.
The PCL Printer Driver is the base software required to send print data to your machine as a network printer or
local printer.
The driver can also output data to a remote machine on the Internet using the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP)
(Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 only).
NOTE
The DP-C262/C322 supports both the PCL and PostScript (PS) printing. The Printer Contoroller
Module (for Adobe® PostScript® 3™) is required if using as a PostScript printer.
