Setup

Installing the Additional Software (For Mac OS 8.1 - Mac OS 9.2)

Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager, and PostScript screen fonts are included on the KX-CL510 CD-ROM. Copy fonts files from PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-CL510 CD-ROM to the System Folder of your Macintosh hard drive. Note that font files need to be moved to specific locations (Fonts folder of the System Folder); others can be moved to a folder of your choice.

Adobe Type Manager

Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the KX-CL510 CD-ROM. Adobe Type Manager (hereafter ATM) can be installed by using the installer in the ATM folder. This application can be used to transfer Type 1 fonts to the printer's memory or hard disk drive, or to manage fonts on the printer.

Manual downloading of fonts not already provided on the printer eliminates the need for automatic downloading of fonts used by a document, which speeds printing. You can also:

PostScript and TrueType fonts

In addition to PostScript Type 1 fonts, TrueType fonts are included in the PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-CL510 CD- ROM.
