CHAPTER 9
Using a Serial Printer
(OIT3250, OIT4450, OIT5400 only)
The OIT3250, OIT4450 and OIT5400 can be configured to print selected message and alarm
screens every time they are displayed on the OIT (including calls from the PLC, function key,
screen stack, etc.). Each message or alarm screen can be individually configured to “display
only” or “display and print”. In addition, the currently displayed screen can be sent to the printer
when the OIT operator presses the PRINT SCREEN key. If you do not want the OIT operator to
print screens, the PRINT SCREEN key can be disabled.
The OIT can be configured to include an optional one or two line header at the top of
each printer page or with each printed screen. The first line can include a string of text up
to 40 characters and the second line can include the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format
and/or the date in mm-dd-yy or dd-mm-yy format.
The Print LED lights when the OIT is printing and blinks when the printer cannot print
for any reason (such as being off line, out of paper, etc.). Once blinking, the Print LED
continues to blink until the OIT successfully sends a print command.
To configure a message or alarm screen to print:
1. In the Screen Editor for this screen, in the Destination group box, select the Display
& Printer option button.
