6820 Series 80-Column Printer User’s Manual

Include Control Program is a switch that determines whether to include

the printer control program when saving the working configuration to the

printer. Click this b ox to change the setting. When checked, the control

program is included the next time you save the printer c onfiguration.

Generally, you only need to update the control program as new versions

become available. The control program is named NPFL6820.MOD.

Font Selection

This option, selected from the Main Menu, selects fonts that are available

on disk, or d eletes existing fonts. A variety of different international fonts

are also available in the toolkit for the 6820 Printer.

Clicking Fonts from the Main Menu takes you to Font Selection where

you can perform operations related to font files,. The Fonts Available list

shows font f iles that are available on disk. The Fonts Selected list show

fonts that are in the current printer configuration.

Note that Save is grayed out, prohibiting that selection, until either new

fonts are selected, or fonts are removed from the Fonts Selected list.

Copying Font Files

To select font files, highlight the font files in the Fonts Available list, with

your pointing device. You can highlight several files at one time, using

conventional Windows selection methods. Then click Copy to copy those

font files to the Fonts Selected list.

However, if you attempt to copy f onts from the Fonts Available list when

these fonts already exist in the Fonts Selected list, the following error mes-

sage is displayed, once for each of the duplicate f onts (where the current

font file name is listed in place of NFT00000.MOD).

Click OK to close the error message and not copy the font to the Fonts

Selected list. If there a re two or more duplicate fonts, the cycle repeats un-

til an error message is displayed for each of the duplicate font files.

The f ont file names become unhighlighted, y ou remain in the F ont Selec-

tion window, and the duplicate fonts are not copied to the Fonts Selected

list.
