Page Description Languages (PDLs)
PDLs are sets of rules governing how computers "speak" to printers to describe the appearance and placement
of text and graphics on a page. The Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN controller understands the most popular
languages in use today. It also has a simultaneous
Au to Sensing /Au to Sw itc hing
capability that allows the
device to toggle back and forth between various network protocols and languages of the inbound data streams
automatically, so it can support mixed networks (i.e. Windows and Mac) without administrator intervention. The
following PDLs are all standard with the Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN. Supported resolution choices are listed for
each language.

PCL, or Prin ter Con trol Language,
is the most commonly used printing
language for general office applications today. PCL was invented by HP for
use with its' PCs and printers. Over time, this language has been adopted by
multiple manufacturers and has become the dominant standard for printing
in Windows environments.
PCL 5c
and P
PCL 6
are the latest versions, and Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN
support enables the printer to be seamlessly installed into any existing
HP/IBM-compatible Windows environment.

3™ + PDF Direct Print:
PS3 is the de facto PDL standard for all desktop publishing applications and
high-end graphic workflows. PS3 enables Macintosh and UNIX users with
larger file sizes and/or specific image manipulation needs to print to the
Savin CLP37DN/CLP42DN with maximum control and image quality.
Installed as part of the PostScript 3 PDL, the P
PD F Direc t Print
feature
allows users to print Acrobat pages without launching the software
application. PDF Direct Print increases printing speed and minimizes network
traffic without impacting image quality.

Note: Effective with the latest version of the Savin Controller Architecture, the Refined Print Command
Stream (RPCS), Savin's proprietary PDL and printer driver technology, has been phased out. Most of its
functionality has been blended into the supported PCL and new Universal driver versions. The most notable
loss in functionality will be the lack of the Unauthorized Copy Control feature.
