PDL (Page Description Language)
A Page Description Language (PDL) specifies the contents and layout of a
printed page. In Device Settings, you can choose from PCL XL, (Printer
Command Language XL), PCL 5e, KPDL (an emulation of PostScript printing),
or PDF (Portable Document Format). The printer default is PCL XL, which is
suitable for most printing purposes.
When using the XPS driver in Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server
2008, PCL XL is the only PDL selection. After you select a PDL, the selection
appears in the lower corner of the Preview image. Use the XPS driver to print
from applications that support XPS.
In GDI compatible mode, vector graphics are rasterized for printing as bitmap
images. Use the GDI compatible mode option to improve the output quality of
the graphic created by the application.
Note: To add PDF to the list of PDL choices, you must install the Output to
PDF plug-in.
In a client/server environment, this feature is unavailable to a client logged in as
a restricted user.
