Chapter 4 — Configuring the Printer
28 6822 Series 80-Column Printer User’s Manual
These instructions apply to desktop computers running either Windows
95 or Windows 98 operating systems.
Installing the Configuration Files
Configuration files for the 6822 are located in the toolkit CD
(P/N 215-270-001), these include the rpgpconf.exe Printer Configuration
Utility program and the rpgpconf.ini initialization file. The Printer
Configuration Utility uses the initialization file to specify the location
and names of font and printer control program folders.
To set up your PC
1 Extract the toolkit files from the nptk6822.exe self-extracting archive
file.
2 Create a directory, on your PC, with an appropriate name for the
Printer Configuration Utility files. You could choose to have the files
extracted at the root directory of your PC or specify another folder.
Execute the self-extracting file from the target directory while specifying
the path to nptk6822.exe in the command line.
When you run nptk6822.exe, a TOOLKIT folder is created, as well the
following folders:
• 6820SYS
• DOS
• FONTS
• PCFS
Generating Custom Configuration Files
The Printer Configuration Utility also helps you create custom
configuration files. These files have a .pcf file extension, and stored in
the folder specified in the initialization file. See the default .pcf file in
the PCFS folder for an example configuration file.
Understanding the Printer Configuration
A configuration consists of a list of fonts, some parameter settings, and
optionally, a printer control program.
