Manually Initiated Report Generation
If processor operation is changed to the run/program mode, the processor
automatically changes from automatic to manual report generation mode.
Every time you change the mode of operation, the peripheral device
displays a prompt to indicate the current operating mode.
Automatic Report Generation
Messages are printed through program control automatically by
energizing specific message requires bits using Output Latch and Output
Unlatch instructions.
You can access automatic report generation is the processor is in the
remote test, or run/program mode. To do this press [SEARCH] 40 or
[M][R][RETURN]. It can also be activated automatically upon
initialization of the industrial terminal if you move parity switches 4
and 5 to the up position on the industrial terminal’s main logic
board (Figure 17.2).

Once automatic report generation is activated, the message request bits are
scanned by the industrial terminal for a false-to-true transition. Each time
one of the request bits goes true, the corresponding message is
printed automatically.
You can terminate automatic report generation by pressing [ESC]. To
return to ladder diagram display, press [ESC] again. Pressing [CANCEL
COMMAND] also terminates automatic report generation. The display
returns to the ladder diagram if automatic report generation was entered by
a command from a peripheral device.

Messages 1-6 use bits 10-15 of word 027 as message request bits. All
other messages have a user-defined file of message request bits for control.
