Disconnect Bluetooth Adapter
If your 6820 Printer has a Bluetooth adapter, its RS-232 line driver can
interfere with the configuration port’s connected programming PC. Dis-
connect the Bluetooth adapter before continuing (gray cable beneath the
printer mechanism).
Disable Microsoft ActiveSync Serial Port Connections
If you use Microsoft ActiveSync to connect to your terminals, then you
need to disable its use of serial port based connections before using the
Configuratino Utility.
In the ActiveSync application on your desktop, select File > Connection
Settings , then clear the second ( Allow USB connections ) and third ( Allow
connections to one of the following ) check boxes. Click OK , then close
the ActiveSync application.
Configuration Utility Operation
This configuration consists of a list of fonts, some parameter settings, and a
printer control 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 Configuration 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, you can use the Reset to Defaults button to reset the configu-
ration clipboard to the recommended printer configuration. Note that this
button does not send the default configuration to the printer.
