5 HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS Emulation
drivers for MS Windows
Introduction
This document describes the features of the HP PCL 6 driver, the HP PCL 5 driver, and the
HP Postscript 3 Emulation driver (PS Emulation driver) for Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit and
64-bit), and Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit).
Control print jobs from any of several places:
●
Device control panel
●
Software-program print-dialog box
●
Driver user interface
Generally, for features that are duplicated in more than one location (for instance, select the media input
tray), settings that are established in the software program take precedence over print-driver settings.
Print-driver settings, in turn, override device control-panel settings.
When installing the print-system software in Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003,
the HP PCL 6 driver is installed by default. The HP PCL 5 and PS emulation drivers can be installed by
performing a Custom Installation.
The following sections describe the options that are available on each tab of the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and
PS emulation drivers.
This document also describes differences between the HP PCL 6, PCL 5, and PS emulation drivers.
Unless otherwise noted, features described here apply to all three.
