Environment Printer driver type Remarks
Windows
SAPL-c
This is the SHARP proprietary printer driver. The printer driver
compresses the data in each print job before sending the job to the
machine, enabling smooth printing. (SAPL is an acronym for "Sharp
Advanced Printing Language".)
Can be used in the
standard machine
configuration.*
PCL6, PCL5c
The machine supports the Hewlett-Packard PCL6 and PCL5c printer
control languages. It is recommended that you use the PCL6 printer
driver. If you have a problem printing from older software using the PCL6
printer driver, use the PCL5c printer driver.
The printer expansion kit is
required.
PS
This printer driver supports the PostScript 3 page description language
developed by Adobe Systems Incorporated, and enables the machine to
be used as a PostScript 3 compatible printer.
(A PPD file is available if it is desired to use the Windows standard PS
printer driver.)
The printer expansion kit
and PS3 expansion kit are
required.
Macintosh
The explanations in this manual of printing in a Windows environment generally use the screens of the PCL6 printer driver.
The printer driver screens may differ slightly depending on the printer driver that you are using.
