Installing the scanner driver
The Panasonic KX-PS8100 Scanner Driver provides two drivers, TWAIN 
and a Photoshop Plug-in. The driver to be installed depends on your 
Macintosh application. However, TWAIN must be installed to use ColorSync 
adjustment function.
n About the TWAIN scanner driver
The TWAIN driver supports image capturing at controlling the scanner 
within TWAIN compliant application.
A beginner can easily capture images directly from the scanner, using the 
application software which supports TWAIN.
A preview image is displayed through the Prescan, you can visually confirm 
the layout before capturing the true image.
Please read each application manual in detail to confirm whether it supports 
TWAIN driver or not.
The advantage of the TWAIN driver:
•If you connect the scanner to your computer using the SCSI cable, you 
can capture images directly from the scanner using TWAIN compliant 
application software such as Adobe Photoshop.
•The operation is standardized, a user experienced in TWAIN peripherals 
can easily capture images from the scanner.
n About the Photoshop Plug-in scanner driver
The Photoshop Plug-in driver supports image capturing at controlling the 
scanner within Photoshop Plug-in compliant application.
A beginner can easily capture images directly from the scanner, using the 
application software which supports the Photoshop Plug-in. 
A preview image is displayed through the Prescan, you can visually confirm 
the layout before capturing the true image.
Please read each application manual in detail to confirm whether it supports 
Photoshop Plug-in driver or not.

Installing additional software for Macintosh users
Additional software, including Adobe Type Manager, and PostScript screen 
fonts are included on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1. Copy fonts files from 
PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to the System Folder 
of your Macintosh hard drive. Note that fonts files need to be moved to 
specific locations (Fonts folder of the System Folder); others can be moved 
to a folder of your choice.
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) is included on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM 
Disc1. Adobe Type Manager (ATM) can be installed by using the installer in 
the ATM folder. This application can be used to transfer Type 1 fonts to the 
printer’s SDRAM, or to manage fonts on the printer. You can also:
•Print using PostScript fonts on non-PostScript printers
•Improve the screen display of PostScript fonts
In addition to PostScript Type 1 fonts, TrueType fonts are included in the 
PS3 Fonts folder on the KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1. 
ATM cannot be used to install TrueType fonts. These fonts can, however, be 
installed by dragging a copy of each from the PS3 Fonts folder on the 
KX-PS8100 CD-ROM Disc1 to your System folder.
For a complete list of fonts included with the printer, see Appendix A of the 
Utilities and Drivers Reference Guide.

145Setup from the Printer Panel and 
WebSetup
This chapter describes how to configure the printer’s Setup options. The 
settings you specify in Setup determine user access to the printer, printing 
defaults applied to jobs, and general system settings. Some Setup options 
are specified during an initial Setup from the printer panel; others must be 
set later from Fiery WebSetup.
Initial Setup from the printer panel
Initial Setup for network printing must be performed using the printer panel. 
After the initial Setup is complete, you must finish configuring Setup options 
using Fiery WebSetup (see page 151). Some options set from the printer 
panel can also be modified using Fiery WebSetup. 
The general steps for performing Setup from the printer panel are:
•Specify parallel port settings (page 146).
•Specify network port settings (page 146).
•Specify network protocol settings (page 148).
Before you change any Setup options, it’s a good idea to print the current 
configuration settings, in case you need to restore these settings later. For 
information on printing a configuration page, see “Printing pages from the 
printer panel” on page 202.
Use the following procedure to access the Parallel Port Setup, Network Port 
Setup, and Network Protocol Setup menus from the printer panel.
To access Setup menus from the printer panel:
1Turn on the printer.
Wait until “Ready” or “Ready(Sleep)” is displayed.
2Press the MENU/EXIT button.
3To advance through the options, press the 
s /CONTINUE button; to return to previous options, 
press the Ú /CANCEL button.
4To select an option, press the ENTER button.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to continue accessing other options.
5To exit the Setup menus at any time, press the MENU/
EXIT button. 
						

							146 Setup from the Printer Panel and WebSetup
To conserve energy and operating cost, this printer is provided with a 
programmable power saver feature. The printer is factory set with the power 
saver feature turned on to comply with E
NERGY STAR® requirements. If set 
to On, the printer automatically turns to power saver mode when there are 
no print jobs received or access to the printer panel for more than 30 
minutes. This mode can reduce the total power consumption of the printer 
to less than 35 watts. Full power mode is restored when the printer receives 
a job or when you press the MENU/EXIT button or print a page at the 
printer.
In addition to receiving print jobs over Ethernet or Token Ring, the printer 
can receive print jobs from a computer through its high-speed parallel port. 
If no network card is installed, the printer is connected to a computer via the 
parallel port.

port before deciding the current job is complete. Press the ENTER button.
Data Mode
Binary/ASCII [ASCII*](*=Default setting)
The Network Port Setup menus allow you to specify and set up a printer 
port type, including: Ethernet (if optional Ethernet card is installed) or Token

NOTES:
•Ethernet and Token Ring options appear only if an optional Ethernet or 
Token Ring card is installed.
•The settings do not become effective until the printer reboots or the 
printer is turned off and on. So if you just change the settings in Network 
Port Setup and do not change the settings in Network Protocol Setup, you 
have to turn off and on the printer.
