PCL Printer Driver (Optional)

The Canon PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers enable users of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Vista to print from any Windows application and make full use of their Canon printers. (Although the machines supported by these printer drivers have multiple functions, they will be referred to as "printers" in this guide.)

This machine supports two types of printer drivers: Hewlett-Packard's PCL (Printer Control Language) printer driver including the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 printer drivers, and Canon's UFRII LT (Ultra Fast Rendering II Lite) printer driver.

The PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers can be used with most kinds of business application software. The PCL5e printer driver is for black-and-white printers, and the PCL6 printer driver is for both color and black-and-white printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e, and offers superior printing quality and speed. The PCL5e printer driver is provided as standard with black-and-white printers.


Remark
  • To use the PCL printer function with imageRUNNER 1025/1025N/1025iF, the optional PCL Printer Kit is required.
  • The available printer drivers may vary, depending on the machine and the version of Windows that you are using.
  • For information on the machines supported by the PCL5c, and PCL5e, PCL6 printer drivers, see Canon Products Supported by PCL Drivers.
