CMYK and PANTONE color reference pages are provided on the KX-
PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 in the form of downloadable PostScript files. 
n CMYK color reference
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.
n PANTONE coated color reference
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 
Utilities 
and Drivers Reference Guide
 on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc2.

Installing Macintosh printing software
To set up the printer 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-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1. Printer drivers provide a way to 
communicate information on print jobs between your applications and the 
printer (and any other PostScript printer connected to your computer).
Printer drivers provide your applications with information about your printer, 
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:
1Insert the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 in your CD-ROM 
drive, and then double-click KX-PS8100 Disc1 icon, the 
English folder and the Adobe PS folder.
2Double-click the Installer icon.
3Click [Yes] in the window that appears.
The Adobe PostScript printer driver and the PPD that corresponds 
to your printer are installed.
4Click [Restart] in the window informing you that 
installation is complete.
NOTE:
•For best results any job sent to the printer should be sent using the Adobe 
driver and the KX-PS8100 PPD. Provide the installer to all users who 
send jobs.
