SUMMIT 8800 REPORTING 07
The Summit has several ways to report metering information:
• Serial reports
Ticket printing via a serial port to a black and white, non-graphical printer
• Ethernet reports
FTP printing via Ethernet to a black and white or colour graphic printer
E-mailing via Ethernet to a mail server
XML electronic reporting via FTP to a computer disk
• Download reports
ID reports via an Ethernet download from a web site or read by the configuration program
Ticket printing can only handle fixed-width or non-proportional characters and printers with RS
232/ 485 serial links. This is ideal for simple panel mounted dot matrix printers.
More modern printers are typically Ethernet based and can handle coloured and proportional
fonts. For this FTP printing is more appropriate.
7 .1 Serial ticket printing
A ticket printer can be connected to any of the serial ports, but some of the dot matrix printers
need a hardware handshake as is available on port 1 of the Ethernet boards:
