Defining
printouts
Printouts are defined in the block header. You access the block header via the block
manager or the block list. The Print signal parameter in the block header specifies the
digital signal that triggers printing for the block when activated. This parameter also
specifies the digital end signal that is activated by the terminal when printing is finished.
Selecting the [Reset] option resets the signal.
Printer settings You make the printer settings under [Setup] / [Peripherals] / [Printer] / [Edit]. You will find
detailed information in the manual on the corresponding printer. The printer must
support the expanded IMB-ASCII character set.
For printing the graphic block, the printer must support the graphic for Epson FX-80,
HP PCL5 or HP PCL6.
