PostScript Printers Vs. PCL Printers |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: If a PCL printer is put into PostScript mode, does it print with a better resolution than it would in a PCL mode? Solutions: PostScript is not necessarily better than PCL. PostScript, by nature, does not give more resolution than what the printer is capable of printing. It is true that many PostScript printers can print 1200 dots per inch (dpi) or more, but these printers are very expensive. There are other laser printers (e.g., LaserMaster) that are capable of printing a high number of dpi as well. The difference would be in the capabilities of the printers. The major difference between PCL and PostScript printers is the language the printer uses. Some laser printers have different capabilities than PostScript printers, and PostScript printers can sometimes do things that laser printers cannot. |
