Installing Macintosh Printing Software; Installing The Adobe Postscript Printer Driver - Panasonic KX-P8420 Operating Instructions Manual

Installing Macintosh printing software

Installing the
Adobe PostScript
printer driver
To set up the KX-P8420 as a PostScript printer, you must install the
PostScript printer description file (PPD) that corresponds to your printer and
the Adobe PostScript printer driver (version 8.5.1 supports PostScript 3)
provided on the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM. Printer drivers provide
a way to communicate information on print jobs between your applications
and the KX-P8420 (and any other PostScript printer connected to your
computer).
Printer drivers provide your applications with information about your
KX-P8420, such as the fonts and paper sizes available. Printer description
files give you access to all printing features of the printer driver and
applications. When you use the Adobe PS Printer installer, the printer
description file is installed automatically.
To install the Adobe PostScript printer driver:
1
Insert the KX-P8420 Driver & Utility CD-ROM in the
CD-ROM drive and open the English folder, then the
Adobe PS folder.
2
Double-click the Installer icon.
3
Click Yes in the dialog box that appears.
The Adobe PostScript printer driver and the PPD that corresponds
to your printer are installed.
4
Click Restart in the dialog box informing you that
installation is complete.
NOTE:
•
For best results any job sent to the KX-P8420 should be sent using the
Adobe driver and the KX-P8420 PPD. Provide the installer to all users
who send jobs.
