Installing Software for Windows
Installing additional software for Windows usersAdditional software, including Adobe Type Manager (ATM), a PANTONE
color reference file, a CMYK reference file, a KX-P8420 ICM profile, is
included on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM.
When a Typical installation is performed on Windows 95 using the installer,
ATM and fonts are automatically installed to a directory on your hard drive
directory called Panasonic KX-P8420. When a Compact installation is
performed, only the printer drivers appropriate to your system are installed.
You can also select which additional files to install during a Custom
installation procedure, or you can copy the additional files from the
KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM to a directory of your choice as they are
needed.
NOTE:
•ATM can be installed for Windows 95 and Windows 3.1, but ATM cannot
be installed for Windows NT 4.0. Windows 3.1 users must manually copy
the files on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM to their hard drive.
Some files, such as fonts, will need to be moved to specific locations; others
can be moved to a directory of your choice.
Regular, bold, italic, and bold italic versions of PostScript Type 1 fonts, as
well as TrueType fonts are provided in the PS3 Fonts folder on the
KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM. These fonts correspond to the PS3
fonts installed on your printer. To use these fonts in applications and to
properly display them on your monitor, you will need to install them on your
computer. For information on installing fonts, see the following section.
For a complete list of fonts included with the KX-P8420 printer, see
Appendix A of
Drivers and Utilities Reference Guide
.
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility
CD-ROM. 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:
•Install the PostScript Type 1 fonts that correspond to those installed on
your printer
•Print using PostScript fonts on non-PostScript printers
•Improve the screen display of PostScript fonts
