Installing Macintosh Software
Installing additional software for Macintosh users
Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager, and PostScript screen
fonts are included on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM. Copy fonts
files from PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM to the
System Folder of your Macintosh hard drive. Note that fonts 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 (ATM) is included on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility
CD-ROM. Adobe Type Manager (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 SDRAM or hard disk, 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:
•Print using PostScript fonts on non-PostScript printers
•Improve the screen display of PostScript fonts
In addition to PostScript Type 1 fonts, TrueType fonts are included in the
PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM.
ATM cannot be used to install TrueType fonts. These fonts can, however, be
installed by dragging a copy of each from the PS3 Fonts folder on the
KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM to your System folder.
For a complete list of fonts included with the KX-P8420, see Appendix A of
the
Drivers and Utilities Reference Guide
