Message board window No. (0,10~1999): The message board allows the operator to draw a message within the
designated window, using the touchscreen. This is especially useful when the operator needs to leave a note about machine
status or the operator's whereabouts when not at the machine. The operator can simply write "MACHINE DOWN" or
"Lavatory". Or, some process note or calculation can be entered as a reminder; such as "Backlash +.005". The message
window retains its data until power is lost. This allows the message window to be closed and then opened later without loss
of information.
Select the window number to be used as the message board.
Note: Selecting 0 disables the Message board feature.
Note: Only one Message board window per project is allowed.
Note: See the Function Key part section for information about Message board controls.
Note: Some of the project's System Parameter/General Tab settings are stored in the retentive memory. See the System
Bit and Register Reference section for further details.
None: Printing disabled.
EPSON ESC/P2: Typically used with dot matrix line printers.
SP Printer: Simple printing used with ASCII type printers.
HP PCL/Simple Page Mode: Use with PCL compatible laser printers.
Description
Printer errors are ignored.
A message box pops up on the HMI display when printer errors occur.
LB 9016 is set to 1 when printer errors occur. LB 9016 remains high until reset by
some user action. It is up to the programmer to handle this error by popping up a
window or providing a way to reset the bit.
