Feature and performance comparison
- Print quality: UFR II and PCL6 generally similar for typical documents; UFR II may render complex documents faster on host-based processing and preserve Canon-specific rendering optimizations.
- Speed: On modern hosts, PCL6 often slightly faster for simple text; UFR II can be faster for complex PDF rendering due to host-side optimizations.
- Resource usage: UFR II is host-based and can use more CPU/memory on the client but reduces device firmware load.
- Advanced features: Use UFR II for advanced settings (toner save, custom sizes, secure printing, maintenance utilities).
- Canon’s generic PCL6 driver supporting many models; often adequate for core printing and faster installs in mixed fleets.
- Lacks some model-specific utilities/advanced features available via UFR II.
Security and firmware
- Keep firmware updated from Canon to address device-level issues; driver updates do not update firmware — check the model’s firmware page.
- For networked printers, restrict management interfaces to admin VLAN and disable unsecured services if unused (FTP, Telnet). Use secure print features for sensitive jobs.
