For details, see your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual, or
your PanelBuilder1200 Configuration Software for Windows User Manual.

Print Priorities

If you try to print more than one report, screen, or alarm message at a time,
the terminal will print in order of priority, saving the other print jobs in a
queue. See the following table for the print priority and the size of queue
allotted for each type of print job.
Print Priority
1
2
3
4
Note that screen print requests are ignored if the printer is already printing
a screen. In the case of PLC controlled screen prints, the PLC can be
informed that the printer is busy when the PLC sends the print message: in
PanelBuilder software, enable Screen Print Active to PLC Controller. For
details, refer to your PanelBuilder Development Software User Manual, or
your PanelBuilder 1200 Configuration Software for Windows User
Manual.

Page Formatting

Each report starts on a new page. Each report (except the Alarm Message
printout) starts with a title, including the time and date of printing. The
form feeds can be disabled by turning Auto Form Feed Off in the Serial
Port configuration screen.
Alarm Messages are printed as the alarms are reported. The first alarm
message that occurs after switching to Run Mode begins the Alarm
Message report. The Alarm Message report is preceded by a form feed, but
following that the alarm messages print one to a line, without page breaks
or form feeds.
