EMF (Early Maintenance Feedback)
In the Records screen the EMF indicator shows if a regular maintenance is needed.
The EMF limits can be scheduled by pressing the EMF button [F1] in the Records
screen and choosing Setup Limits. Depending on the highlighted module you enter a
window where the maintenance intervals can be set. Consult the online information
system on Setting EMF Limits.
You can also display EMF events by choosing the Show Events option. This
windows shows all EMF limits for the modules that have been operated beyond
them. This windows is only updated during startup.
Printing Screens
You can connect a printer with an RS-232 interface to any module using the proper
cable.
A converter from a serial (RS-232) to a parallel (Centronics) connection is available
from Agilent Technologies, part number 5181-1529.
You can configure the printer by pressing the Configure button [F2] in the System
screen and then selecting LC System. In the following Config screen press the
Printer button [F1] to open the respective dialog. In this dialog you can choose the
printer model and the module it is connected to. Define a page layout (including
paper size, a banner text and the margins) using the Page button [F8]. Use the Serial
button [F7] to enter settings for the RS-232 connection, such as baudrate, bits and
parity. This setting can be made individually for each module in the respective
configuration settings (see "Connecting External Devices" on page 51).
If the setup is complete you may print a test page using the corresponding button.
In many cases a print function is provided via the context menu to be accessed with
the m (menu) key, e.g. from the vial range entry fields in the Analysis screen, from
the Samples screen and from the online information system.
