The Canon iR5020 iR6020 PCL6 driver allows Windows applications to send print jobs to a Canon iR5020 or iR6020 printer using the PCL6 printing language. It provides access to printing preferences so you can adjust document output before sending it to the device. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check that the download explicitly supports your operating system and system architecture before installing.

Key Features

• PCL6 printing support: Converts output from Windows applications into print instructions the printer can process, supporting everyday office documents such as reports, forms, and spreadsheets.
• Document layout controls: Provides settings for paper size, orientation, copy count, and other layout options available in the selected driver package.
• Paper handling options: Lets you select supported paper sources and use double-sided printing when available on the printer and enabled in the driver configuration.
• Device configuration: Allows Windows printing preferences to reflect installed accessories, helping expose supported output and finishing choices when correctly configured.

How to Install

1. Check compatibility. Confirm your Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Choose a Canon iR5020 iR6020 PCL6 driver package that lists support for that configuration; older packages should not be assumed compatible with Windows 11.

1. Prepare the printer connection. Turn on the printer and confirm that your computer can reach it. For a network installation, obtain the printer’s IP address or the shared printer path from your network administrator.

1. Download and extract the driver. Save the compatible package to your computer. If it is compressed, extract its contents to an easy-to-find folder before starting setup.

1. Install the printer driver. Run the included installer and follow its prompts. If no installer is provided, use the Windows Add Printer wizard, choose the appropriate connection or port, and browse to the extracted driver files when prompted.

1. Confirm settings and test printing. Open Printer Properties, review the selected driver and port, and configure any installed paper trays or finishing accessories. Print a test page to verify communication, then adjust default printing preferences for your usual documents.

If printing fails, check the connection and selected port first. Missing paper or finishing options may indicate that the printer’s installed accessories have not yet been configured in the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installer fails or hangs: Run the Canon PCL6 setup as administrator, close print queues, and remove any existing iR5020/iR6020 drivers via Print Management before reinstalling. Match the driver package to Windows architecture.
• Device not detected: Confirm the copier’s IP address or USB connection, ping the device, and use a Standard TCP/IP port with RAW 9100 or LPR enabled. For network scans/prints, verify the correct iR5020 or iR6020 model is selected.
• Version conflicts: Uninstall older PCL5/PCL6/UFR drivers, clear stuck jobs, restart the Print Spooler service, then install the latest Canon PCL6 package. Avoid mixing drivers for both models on the same port.
