PostScript 3 versus PCL5e Printer Driver
Use the
PostScript 3
printer driver for color
documents that contain complex graphic images or
extensive page layout formatting. The PostScript 3
driver has more options and delivers better graphic
processing.
Use the
PCL5e
printer driver for monochrome
documents that contain mostly text and limited
formatting. The PCL5e driver handles this type of
document well and delivers faster printing than the
PostScript 3 driver.
NOTE:
For color printing, you must use the
PostScript 3 printer driver. The PCL5e printer driver
is for monochrome printing only.
