Working with a Printer
If you are using the Model 5824 serial/parallel interface module, several printing options are available. See
Section 4.7 for information about installing the 5824.
1.
From the Main Menu, select 5 Printer Options.
2.
From the next screen, select the 5824 module where the printer is connected.
3.
If the printer is not currently busy printing another report, a screen with the following options will be avail-
able. If the printer is busy, a message will display. You can press 1 to cancel the current print job. These
options will then display.
1= Event Logging
Enables event logging, which causes the printer to continuously print events as they occur. The
date/time will print in 24-hour military format. Once event logging is enabled, it will remain enabled
until canceled by the installer. If you need to disable event logging, return to this option and press
1 to disable.
Sample Event Log
2 = Print Event History
Prints the up-to-1000 events currently stored in the panel’s event history buffer. Events print
starting with the newest. The date and time printed will be when the event actually occurred and
will print in 24-hour military format.
