Printing
You should type the starting and ending addresses for the category if you
want only a particular section. Otherwise, everything in that category will
be printed. The following paragraphs describe each of the categories in the
menu.
This category prints the memory configuration as found in the P/C. (If you
wish to print the memory configuration as it appears on a Program Disk,
you must be in the Offline mode.)
This category prints the I/O configuration as obtained from the P/C. As
shown in the chart, you may print all the channels and bases, or you may
specify a particular channel and base. Note that this prints the I/O
Configuration Chart rather than the I/O Module Definition Chart.
This category prints the relay ladder logic program. You may print the
entire program, or just those within certain limits as specified in the menu.
You may also choose to include NOP (empty) rungs when the ladder logic is
printed. However, unless a "Y" appears next to the "ADDRESS" entry, NOP
rungs will not be printed. Also, remember that if the width of the page is set
to 72 columns, both power rails will be omitted when the networks are
printed.
Once the items to be printed are selected on the menu, begin the print
operation by pressing the EXECUTE (F2) function key. When all the items
are printed, the final page of the printout will read "***PRINTING
COMPLETE***".
To begin the operation, press the PRINT function key. The system will
respond with a menu for selecting the printer parameters. Configure the
parameters as described in the preceding paragraphs on configuring print
parameters. If the parameters are already set, proceed with the print
operation by pressing the CONT (F2) function key. A menu for selecting
what is to be printed is then displayed. See Figure 8-4.
