Panasonic KX-P8420 User Manual

• Always use Ture Type fonts : If you use True Type fonts, jobs will usually print slower; however, the job output from

different printers will look identical.

Please refer to the Help file included in KX-P8420 printer properties, font tab for more detail.

There are 3ways to send a TrueType font to printer.

Outline – Change TrueType outline information to Type1 outline information and sends it to the printer.

Type3(bitmap) – The TrueType rasterizer on PC makes bitmaps and send this bitmap data to printer.

Type42 --- This sends TrueType font with almost no modification so that printer resident TrueType rasterizer can

handle TrueType font. This selection is most recommended.

Some printer font may not be correctly printed with this setting.

Trouble: Fonts or texts shown on the screen do not match to the print outcome.

Possible Cause: The Type1 fonts that correspond to the printer fonts you are using are not installed on your PC.

Corrective Action: Install Type1 fonts by using ATM (Adobe Type Manager) included in “KX-P8420 Driver/Utility” CD-

ROM. Please refer to Operating Instructions manual for more detail.

Trouble: Euro currency symbol can not be printed.
