5.4.2 Volt-free contact (VFC) alarm

You can use a VFC alarm to connect a mains-powered alarm beacon to the printer. It is
normally used to indicate any failure that stops printing on a production line. The alarm
can indicate
•
if there is printer failure (Printer Failure option).
•
if the printer stops printing (Stop Printing option).
•
if there is any other system event not in the above categories (Warning option).
You can set the alarm options to either On or Off. If set to On, and a system event in the
selected category occurs, the alarm is activated. If set to Off, and a system event in the
selected category occurs, the alarm is not activated.
NOTE: A printer power failure will also trigger the VFC alarm irrespective of the alarm
options chosen.
