125 Installing Software for Windows 
To print from Windows 3.1 you need to: 
• 
Set up the printer to accept print jobs from your computer. 
• 
Configure a port on each Windows 3.1 computer for the network or 
connection type. 
n  
 Selecting a printer port  
When you install a printer, Windows assigns it to a default parallel printer 
port. If the KX-PS8100 printer is connected to your computer through a 
network or you want to assign it to a different port, you need to change the 
port assignment. For information on which port to use, see your system 
administrator. 
To select a printer port: 
1 
In the   
Control Panel  
 window, double-click the   
Printers  
 
icon. 
2 
In the   
Printers  
 window, select the   
Panasonic 
KX-PS8100  
   
on LPT1:  
 in the   
Installed Printers  
 list box. 
3 
Click   
[Connect...]  
. 
The Connect window appears. 
4 
Connect the printer to the same port as your network. 
To print to a file, select FILE. 
Printing to a file is useful if the printer is not at your site. However, if 
you select the FILE port, you cannot print to a printer until you 
select a network or printer port. (In some applications, you can 
select the FILE port from the application’s Print window; this is 
preferable for temporary use since it doesn’t require resetting the 
port in the Control Panel.)

Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager (ATM), a PANTONE 
color reference file, a CMYK reference file, a KX-PS8100 ICM profile, is 
included on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1.
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-PS8100. 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-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 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-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 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-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1. 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 printer, see Appendix A of 
Utilities and Drivers Reference Guide on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc2.
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM 
Disc1. This application can be used to transfer PostScript Type 1 fonts to the 
printer’s memory, or to manage fonts on the printer. 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
