Panasonic KX-PS8100 User Manual

CMYK and PANTONE color reference pages are provided on the KX-
PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 in the form of downloadable PostScript files. 

■

The CMYK Color Reference is a PostScript file (Cmyk_ref.ps), which can be 
printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery WebDownloader 
or from DOS prompt through parallel port by copy command (ex. copy 
cmyk_ref.ps prn). If the file has not already been installed in the Panasonic 
KX-PS8100 directory on your hard disk drive, you can copy it from the 
Clrfiles directory on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to a directory of your 
choice.

Each of the 11 pages display swatches in graduated combinations of yellow, 
magenta, and cyan, and smaller patches that include 25%, 50%, and 75% 
black. The process colors are shown in 10% increments. You can specify 
these colors, and colors in between, in any application that allows you to 
define colors as CMYK percentages—and use the pages to see how they 
will be printed on your particular printer.

For more information about color management using the CMYK Color 
Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in 

Utilities and 

Drivers Reference Guide on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc2.

The PANTONE Coated Color Reference is a PostScript file (Pantone.ps), 
which can be printed using a PostScript downloader utility, such as Fiery 
WebDownloader or from DOS prompt through parallel port by copy 
command (ex. copy Pantone.ps prn). If the file has not already been 
installed in the Panasonic KX-PS8100 directory on your hard disk drive, you 
can copy it from the Clrfiles directory on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to 
a directory of your choice.

The PANTONE color matching system is a standard color system within the 
graphic arts and prepress industries. It specifies hundreds of spot colors, 
each identified with a unique number. Each PANTONE color is simulated on 
the printer by printing an appropriate combination of process (CMYK) 
colors. The ability to simulate PANTONE colors is a basic form of color 
management. 

You can choose PANTONE colors in any application that allows you to 
define colors as named PANTONE colors—and use the pages to see how 
they will be printed on your particular printer.

For more information about color management using the PANTONE Coated 
Color Reference, see “Choosing colors in PostScript applications” in
