How to configure a printer on a PortServer product using RealPort with Windows NT 3.51. How to configure a printer on a PortServer product using RealPort with Windows NT 3.51.

To set up the Digi ports for printing, go into Print Manager:

If you have not already created a printer, select Create Printer. Fill in the required information for the new printer (i.e. printer name and driver).

For the Print to: option, select Other, then select Local port.

Type in the Digi port name followed by a colon (i.e. COM5:). This will bring up the Ports applet.

Select the port you have just configured from the list displayed, and choose Settings. Set the baud rate to 9600, data bits to 8, parity to none and stop bits to 1. Set flow control control to match the way your printer is configured.

Select OK, Close.

Repeat these steps for any additional printers you need to add.

For printers that have already been created, select Properties for that printer, and then follow the above instructions. Once you have configured all the ports you will be using for printing, you must restart NT. You may notice that the ports you have configured do not show up under the Print to: list. These will not display until after you restart NT.

Once you have restarted NT, go back to Print Manager, and select Properties for each printer. Go to the Print to: option, and select the Digi port from the list displayed.
