ming PC. D isconnect the Bluetooth adapter before continuing.

This configuration consists of a list of fonts, some parameter settings, and a

printer c ontrol program.

When the utility is active, it holds a configuration in memory. This is

called the “configuration clipboard.” Initially, this configuration has pa-

rameters set to their default values. Consider the contents of the configura-

tion clipboard as temporary and lost when you exit from the utility.

With the C onfiguration Utility, you can view the configuration stored in

your 6820 Printer using the Get 6820 Configuration button. You can

configure or modify the printer settings in your printer using the Set 6820

Configuration button.

In addition, y ou can use the Reset to Defaults button to reset the configu-

ration clipboard to the recommended printer configuration. Note that this

button d oes not send the default configuration to the printer.
