Panasonic KX-P4440 - Manual (Page 93)

4.4 Configuring Your Software
In this section you must again refer to some of the settings you chose
earlier. If you do not remember how you configured your computer and
printer, you need to go back and check.
When configuring your software, you need to refer to the operator’s
manual that came with each of your software packages. Be sure to follow
the instructions and make all of the correct selections to correspond with
those you made for your computer and printer.
Most commercial software will allow you to select a printer. A printer
driver is the part of the software that allows the software to communicate
with the printer via the interface in use. Do not be afraid to try the
printer’s different emulation modes and font groups with their corre­
sponding software printer drivers. Different software packages will pro­
vide additional features depending upon the printer driver you select.
Whenever possible, a Panasonic laser printer driver should be used with
the KX-P4440 set with Font Group 1 selected. This driver will offer
maximum versatility of fonts and all other features of this printer.
Note:
In software that lists Panasonic LP as a printer driver menu selec­
tion, it should always be your first choice.

Please remember that you must check the paper size and page format in
your software. We recommend that you control the appearance of the
printed output throught your software, not by the printer. In other words,
let the software control the printer.
