Starting and aborting printing

1) Start and abortion by triggers
Printing start/abort command is given when a corresponding bit device in the PC specified
in the screen creation software becomes ON.
The GOT monitors in a constant cycle whether these bit devices have become ON (monitor-
ing cycle).
The monitoring cycle can be set in the unit of 1 second within the range from 1 to 60 sec-
onds.
* If the bit device ON period is shorter than the monitoring cycle, it may not be recognized
as a trigger. Make sure that the ON period is longer than the monitoring cycle. (Refer to a
program example shown in the next page.)
2) Start and abortion by touch switches
Printing can be started and aborted by pressing touch switches.
Assign the following key codes to the touch switches.
