Installation and Configuration
Make sure the following files are on the system:
IRDAPDRV.EXE
PRDRV.SYS
PRDRV.SYS
If your system was delivered with an application requiring these files, they
should already be in flash. If not, they can most likely be found in the Tool Kit.
Required CONFIG.SYS Entry
The following entries are required in the CONFIG.SYS file:
device=d:\
pathname
\prdrv.sys
install=d:\
pathname
\irdapdrv.exe –t6100
where
d:\pathname
is your specific path to the directory where the printer drivĆ
ers exist; and where
t6100
is the technology" for the platform on which this
driver is used.
Required AUTOEXEC.BAT Entry
There are no required entries in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file for IRDAPDRV.EXE.
Usage
Both PRDRV.SYS and IRDAPDRV.EXE have optional parameters.
PRDRV.SYS [fileNameToUse]
where
fileNameToUse
is the name of the device to which this driver should reĆ
spond. If this option is used, the f option (for IRDAPDRV.EXE) must be used,
and the optional name selected must match this name string exactly. The deĆ
fault is IRDALPT.

NOTE:
Use only the switches shown here. This driver is a multi-platform program, providing fea-
tures for all of the 6000 Series platforms. None of the other switches are intended for the
6100 Computer and could cause a malfunction, if used on this platform.

bn
REMOVES a baud rate from consideration for data transfer rate negotiated during connect.
The (n) part of this parameter is one of 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200. This switch is accumuĆ
lative and can REMOVE any, or all, of the above baud rates from the default negotiables. When
the two systems negotiate, the largest common value is selected and that baud rate is used for
communication, after completion of the negotiation.

dn
specifies the disconnect time (in seconds) requested during negotiation. The (n) part of this paĆ
rameter is one of 3, 8, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30, or 40. This switch is accumulative and can add any, or
all, of the preceding disconnect times to the default of 3. The two systems negotiating select the
largest common value.

fs
defines the file name to be used by the driver. This string must be supplied, and must match the
driver name option used with PRDRV.SYS when it was loaded (if used). The default name for
this driver is IRDALPT.
