Sharp does a good job of updating their print drivers along with the latest operating systems. The PCL6 driver is the most useful for Windows computers, the PPD is the best option for the Macs. Skelton Business Equipment, a Division of Platinum Copier Solutions, does not condone using the universal drivers unless you have a AMD processor device.

Different drivers work better with different programs or applications, so you might want to add both PCL and PS (post script) drivers to your computer. They interpret colors and fonts differently, so if you are having issues with other of those things, try the other driver.

Please contact us if you have a Skelton/Platinum ID number and any questions.
