A printer information file is prepared for each printer to be opened. It is created using any text-editor.
You can choose to use either ASCII or UTF-8 as the character-code of the printer information file. In order to use UTF-8, it is necessary that you have added BOM to your system. If BOM is not added, the system will use a default of ASCII.
To open a printer, the corresponding printer information file must be specified using its full path name. If only the file name is specified, the directory of the printer information file must be stated in the environment variable "MEFTDIR". If the environment variable "MEFTDIR" is not defined or a correct directory name is not specified, PowerFORM RTS searches the current directory.
If a printer information file is not found in the current directory, it is assumed that the file was omitted. PowerFORM RTS then uses the default values.
For an explanation of the information that can be specified in a printer information file, see "Printer Information File".
