Panasonic KX-P4440 - Manual (Page 90)

4.3 Configuring Your Printer
Now that you have configured your computer, you can move on to the
printer. Since this is a printer manual, this section will receive emphasis.
Configuring the printer involves three (3) major areasiselecting the emu­
lation, selecting the font group (this determines the printer driver to be
selected), and selecting the interface.
After you configure the printer, you should permanently save the settings.
This will eliminate the need to re-configure your printer every time you
turn it on. Please note that your printer has been configured to the most
common settings at the factory. These settings are listed on page 3-44.
Please check these settings before proceeding.

Configuring Your
Printer Emulation
The KX-P4440 emulates various printers. To get optimum versatility in
both text and graphics from your printer, we suggest that you use the
Panasonic LP emulation mode. In this mode, the printer emulates an
HP LaserJet Series III.
Below is a list of the printer’s emulation modes, and the corresponding
models it emulates:
Emulation Mode Printer Emulated
Panasonic LP
Diablo
IBM
HP LaserJet Series III
Diablo 630
IBM Proprinter
Please remember that whichever emulation you choose, all your software
should also use that emulation. Before choosing an emulation, we recom­
mend that you refer to your software manuals to determine which of the
emulations in the printer are supported by the software.
Selection of the Emulation Mode can be done in two ways:
Front Panel: While in the OFF LINE mode, select the desired emula­
tion mode through the front panel. (See Chapter 3 for a
detailed explanation of how to use the front panel.)
Super Set: Send the command from the computer to select the de­
sired emulation mode. [See the Software Commands
Manual for information on how to use the Special Codes
(Super Set) commands.]
Be sure to remember which emulation mode you select. It will be used
when you configure your software.
