Printing
Terminals equipped with an RS-232 printer port can print:
• triggered messages in a message display
• triggered states of a multistate indicator
• alarm messages
• alarm list
Text is printed without formatting options. Print attributes for objects
and alarms are defined in the application.
Printing is a background operation. While printing, the terminal
continues to update and you can perform other terminal operations.
The terminal prints messages in the order they are received. If the
print buffer is full, the terminal displays a queue full warning message.
New print requests are aborted.
The print queue is not maintained between power cycles. Any
messages in the queue when the terminal is reset are cleared.
Alarms
Applications that support alarms may contain:
• Alarm Banner display that pops up when an alarm is triggered
• Alarm buttons that enable the operator to act on an alarm (Print
Alarm, Acknowledge Alarm, Clear Alarm, Acknowledge All)
• Alarm List which stores information on triggered alarms (Print
Alarm List or Clear Alarm List button)
Alarm configurations are application dependent. Consult your
application designer for details on how to handle alarms for your
application.
