How to configure a printer in RealPort in Windows NT 4.0. How to configure a printer in RealPort in Windows NT 4.0.
To set up the Digi ports for printing, go into Control Panel, Printers. If you have not already added a printer, select Add Printer. Select My Computer and then Next. On the Add Printer Wizard screen, check the LPT1: box (this will be temporary until the Digi ports are added). Click Next. Select the required information for the new printer (i.e. printer name and driver). At this point, do not print a test page. Select Finish. An icon for this printer will now appear in the Control Panel, Printers window.
Highlight the printer you will be configuring on the Digi port and select File, Properties. Select the Ports tab, then select Add Port.
Highlight Local Port and then select New Port. Type in the Digi port name followed by a colon (i.e. COM5:) and click OK. 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 to match the way your printer is configured.
Select OK, Close.
Click on Add. From the Advanced Settings for New Port Window, select OK.
You will be prompted to reboot your system. Select Do not Restart Now.
Select Close. You will notice that the port you have configured does not appear in the Print to: list. These will not display until after you restart NT.
Restart Windows NT.
Once you have restarted NT, go back to Control Panel, Printers, and select Properties for the printer. Go to the Ports tab, and select the Digi port from the list displayed.
Repeat these steps for any additional printers you need to add.
