The next prompt is:

LOG ATTRIBUTES?

If you answer Yes, the system attribute settings, such as baud rate, parity,
port settings, autorun message, master address, and background message are
printed followed by a listing of the messages selected and their attributes.

After responding to the LOG ATTRIBUTES? prompt, there is a 15 second
delay before printing begins. This allows you to disconnect the terminal and
connect the printer.

Note: If you are using keyboards (Catalog No. 2706-NK1 or -NK2), the
printer can already be connected to the RS-232 port terminals 6, 7, and 8.
If you are using a printer with a keyboard, you do not have to wait, just press
the [Esc] key to begin printing.

An example of a message print:

message number: 3
uses all lines
line mode msg
to slave: 100
wait time: 3
chained to: 7
msg stacked
Overload Tripped On Heater

Lines are automatically formatted for the line length of your printer. Printer
line lengths are set using the Set Up I/O Ports special function described later
in this chapter.
