What are the difference between PCL Driver and BR-Script driver?

During this initial set-up and installation process of your printer, the driver installer recommends that you install the PCL driver if you are a Windows users.

While this driver enables access to the maximum number of printer features, it offers limited color calibration capabilities. However, for everyday office color printing, this driver is recommended.

 

If you are printing color graphics or are performing desktop publishing, we recommend using our Postscript driver. Ideal for both Mac and Windows, this driver enables advanced color calibration and produces the most accurate color output.
