These instructions apply to desktop computers running either Windows
95 or Windows 98 operating systems.
All files necessary to configure the 6820 Printer are located in the toolkit,
including the Configuration Utility application program,
RPGPCONF.EXE, and the initialization file, RPGPCONF.INI. The init-
ialization file is used by the Configuration Utility to specify the location
and names of font and printer control program files.
To set up your host computer to use the Configuration Utility, extract the
toolkit files from the self-extracting archive file, NPTK6820.EXE. First,
create a directory, on your host computer, with an appropriate name for
the Configuration Utility files. The name of this directory is your choice.
You could choose to have the files extracted at the root directory of your
host computer. However, the directory used in the example below is
\6820PRTR. Execute the self-extracting file from the target directory while
specifying the path to NPTK6820.EXE in the command line.
Upon executing NPTK6820.EXE, a "TOOLKIT" subdirectory is created,
as well as other associated subdirectories, as shown in the diagram below.
The Configuration Utility application program and the initialization file
are extracted to the TOOLKIT subdirectory. Other files are extracted to
the other subdirectories created by the archive file.

TOOLKIT
This is the directory where
you executed NPTK6820, to
extract the configuration
utility files.
The configuration utility allows the user to generate custom configuration
files. These files have the file name extension of ".PCF", and they reside in
the directory specified in the initialization file. See DEFAULT.PCF, in the
PCFS directory for an example.
A configuration consists of a list of fonts, some parameter settings, and op-
tionally, a printer control program.
When the utility is active, it holds a configuration in memory. This is
called the "working configuration". Initially, this working configuration
