K. DEFINING HIS FUNCTION
K.2.1 PRINTER
♦ HIS Printer Name
Message output may be assigned to different printers, according to the
message type. The assignment is defined in the printer definition tab of
the HIS Constant Builder. The messages output to printer may be
assigned, similar to the example showing below, as [None], [MSG1],
[MSG2], [MSG3], [MSG4], [MSG5] according to the message type. The
default setting is all types of message are assigned to MSG1.
Table: An example of Printer output definition
As the above example, since the process alarm message, and messages
in response to the sequence message request are assigned to the same
printer MSG2, both types of message are printed out from the same
printer in the order of their arising. The HIS printer name here requires to
be assigned a real printer, and this may be defined on HIS Setup window.
♦ User Group
When printing, the scope of operation and monitoring of the designated
user group decides the scope of the message to print out. The message
outside of the operation and monitoring scope cannot be printed. The
default user group is DEFGRP (all), messages of all stations may be
printed out.
♦ Tab
To define the start position for different types of message, the message
printout may be in easy-to-read format. The print start position may be
defined on the printer definition tab of the HIS Constant Builder.
