Installing/Uninstalling Software
Installation Procedure
Perform the following procedure to install the printer, fax, and scanner drivers. If you install these drivers, 
you can print and send faxes from your computer, and scan documents into your computer. Printer drivers 
are divided into two types: PCL and UFRII LT.
●PCL: This is the Hewlett-Packard’s PCL printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, PCL5e, and PCL6 
drivers. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers are for 
black-and-white printers. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e and offers superior printing quality and 
speed. This machine supports the PCL5e and PCL6 printer drivers.
● UFRII LT: This is the Canon UFRII LT printer driver. Using this driver, the various data processing tasks 
conventionally executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer 
to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the output data, 
thus realizing a significant incr ease in speed through optimization.NOTE
The scanner driver is available only through a USB connection.
