Print ing a Win dow

There are two ways to print a window:
• Using a function key
• Using a PLC Control Object
• Using Simulation Mode

Using a Func tion Key

You can place a Function Key Object on a screen that is configured to print the screen.
When the Function Key is touched, the Window containing the Function Key is sent to the printer.
To create a Function Key for printing a Window, follow these steps:
1. From the Parts menu, select Function Key.
2. Under the General tab, select the Hard Copy option button. The Attributes button is
enabled.
3. Select the Attributes button. The Attributes determine what part(s) of the Window are
printed.
• Print Text & Me ter & Trend
The printed Win dow con tains only the win dow's Text, Me ter, & Trend ob jects.
• Print Text & Meter & Trend & All Shape but not including Pattern
The printed Window contains only the window's Text, Meter, Trend, and Shape objects. All
shapes on the Window are printed, whether they are part of another object (Bit Lamp,
Function Key, etc.) or stand-alone Shape objects. However, the Patterns associated with the
shapes are not printed.
• Print Text & Meter & Trend & All Bitmap
The printed Window contains only the window's Text, Meter, Trend, and Bitmap objects. All
bitmaps on the Window are printed, whether they are part of another object (Bit Lamp,
Function Key, etc.) or stand-alone Bitmap objects.
• Print Text & Meter & Trend & All Bitmap & All Shape but not including Pattern
The printed Window contains only the window's Text, Meter, Trend, Bitmap, and Shape
objects. All shapes and bitmaps on the Window are printed, whether they are part of another
object (Bit Lamp, Function Key, etc.) or stand-alone Shape and Bitmap objects. However, the
Patterns associated with the shapes are not printed.
• Print Text & Meter & Trend & All Bitmap & All Shape
The printed Window contains only the window's Text, Meter, Trend, Bitmap, and Shape
objects. All shapes and bitmaps on the Window are printed, whether they are part of another
object (Bit Lamp, Function Key, etc.) or stand-alone Shape and Bitmap objects.

Advances the Printer to the next page.
If desired, attach a Shape and a Label to the Function Key.

Using PLC Con trol Ob ject

You can print a copy of the screen that is currently displayed on the OIT by using the PLC Control Object. This
feature allows you to print a hardcopy of the current screen whenever directed by the PLC.
Using the PLC Control Object to print the OIT screen
1. From the Parts menu, select PLC Control. The PLC Control Object dialog box appears.
2. Click Add. The PLC Control Object's Attribute dialog box appears.
3. Select Screen hardcopy for Type of control in the Attribute box.
4. Select the Device type and Device Address for the actual PLC bit address you wish to use.
5. Click OK to return to the PLC Control Object dialog box.
You should see a new entry, which lists the PLC address that is monitored by the OIT. The PLC can now signal the
OIT to print the screen currently displayed. The OIT will send the screen contents to a printer when the PLC sets
the specified PLC bit.
