Printer Drivers. What is the difference between PS, PCL and PCL6?
Solution 1:
PS is PostScript and was created for Vector Graphics, commonly used for printing from Adobe products. PCL is Printer Command Language.
PCL 6 Enhanced is object-oriented PDL optimized for printing from GUI interfaces such as Windows and compressed to optimize throughput and formerly known as PCL XL. PCL 6 Standard is Equivalent to PCL 5e or PCL 5c, intended to provide backward compatibility.
Becareful, printing from non-Adobe products using a PS driver can cause the printer to print endless pages of PostScript code.
