Installing Software for Windows

Installing additional software for Windows users

Additional 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

PostScript and 
TrueType fonts

ATM (Windows 95 
and Windows 3.1)
