Alarm Printer View

1)Setting dip switches as stated in the printer's manual.

2)Selecting appropriate buttons or menus on the front display panel of the printer.

3)Using software (printer driver).

You must configure your printer to emulate an EPSON printer. This will enable the Alarm Printer View to send colour codes to the printer correctly, thus enabling the printer to interpret the codes and print the alarm(s) in colour.

Refer to the printer's technical manual for information on setting up the Epson emulation

1.2.5.1Page/Line printers

The Alarm Printer View has the ability to print to a page or a line printer. When printing to a page printer (eg a laser printer), all alarms are put into a buffer until one page is complete; then the entire page of alarms is printed. When printing to a line printer (eg a dot matrix printer), alarms are printed as they occur.

The "Fit to Page" option in the Printers Property page must be checked or unchecked accordingly. When printing to a Page Printer the "Fit to Page" option should be checked and when printing to a line printer this option should be unchecked.

1.2.5.2Printer Spooling

For the Alarm Printer View to be able to work efficiently, printing should be done in the background, by setting up the Print Spooling option. This option exists in the standard Windows Printer Properties for the active printer.

1.2.5.3Windows NT Spooling

If the "Fit to Page" flag is set then the Windows Printer Properties page must be set up as shown below.
