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.
