Print Priorities
If you try to print more than one report, screen, or alarm message at a
time, the terminal will print in order of priority, saving the other print
jobs in a queue. The following table shows the size of the queue
allotted for each type of print job for the print priorities assigned.
Print priority Print job Number of print jobs that can be queued
1 Screen print none
2 Alarm status report 1
3 Alarm history report 1
4 Alarm messages 21
Printing Screens from the Terminal
Screen print requests are ignored if the printer is already printing a
screen. For PLC-controlled screen prints, the PLC can be informed
that the printer is busy when it sends the print message. To do this, in
PanelBuilder software, enable Screen Print Active to PLC control.
For details, refer to your PanelBuilder 1400e Configuration Software
for Windows User Manual.
Screen prints can be initiated manually by the operator choosing the
Screen Print Button object, or requested by the PLC.
Formatting Reports
Each report can start on a new page. Each report (except the Alarm
Message printout) starts with a title, including the time and date of
printing.
