If you are using some word processor applications on Windows3.1, you may see the paper source options are

shown as “Tray1,Tray2,...” instead of KX-P8420 original tray options such as “Auto(Paper), MPT transparency” when

you open the print dialog or application paper setup dialog. For selecting paper sources for these applications, use

KX-P8420 printer properties launched from the print dialog.

Possible Cause:

The print dialog of Adobe Photoshop has the setting by which user can select data type. (ASCII,Binary,JPEG).

Selecting Binary as a data type always produce PS error print and should be avoided.

Corrective Action:

Select ASCII or JPEG. Selecting JPEG produces much better performance and is recommended although it might

affect the print quality slightly.

Trouble: KX-P8420 specific features are not available in Adobe PageMaker print dialog.
