PCL5c adds support for color printing. Printers using the PCL language have a very obvious speed advantage when processing text or documents under some common office application software, and are more suitable for some common business office applications. PS is a device-independent printer language, that is, the characteristics of the output device such as the resolution of the printer, paper size, etc.
Through the PS driver, various application software converts their data into PostScript format. It can be seen from the working principle of the print engine that the printer can only accept bitmap format.
When the printer controller converts PostScript to bitmap format, because the PostScript is very complex, the general print controller is not competent, usually by a dedicated raster image in the printer Processor Raster Image Processor to complete this conversion process. The PS driver has a certain speed advantage when processing PDF files or printing large graphics and image files in software such as Photoshop, and it also has advantages over PCL language in terms of graphics performance accuracy, color performance accuracy, and some font performance accuracy.
Tech Community Register Log in. FaceBook Share. The difference between GDI, ps, pcl5 and pcl6 driver features in the printer driver First of all, the GDI driver is the host-based driver we often say. Printer driver classification: 1. Host-based driver Use the memory resources and processing power of the computer instead of the printer to process the print task, complete the conversion process of printing the raster bitmap on the computer side, and image directly on the printer.
Moreover, it supports custom and predefined paper sizes such as letter, A4 etc. Subsequently, the next revision was class 2. With this revision, it is possible to write text in a vertical direction. Also, it supports A6 and Japanese B6preset media sizes. Besides, it also supports JPEG compression. Furthermore, class 3. In overall, PCL 6 language is more compact and consists of various features, providing additional capabilities to create high-resolution images and graphics.
