Printers Tab
The Printers Tab contains all the setting information to configure a local event printer and a report printer. The
local event printer runs from a COM port on the computer. Report printers are configured through Windows (using
an LPT port), and whatever printer is set up as default will operate as the report printer for the workstation.
The Printers Tab is divided into two separate sections, one for event printers and one for report printers. When
configuring an Event Printer, in the Event Printer Location box, select Local (the options are local and none).
Once this location has been selected, the rest of the box becomes active. Refer to the printer's documentation for
printer specific information.
• Local Event Printer COM Port - This option tells which COM port connection is used by the local
event printer.
• Local Event Printer Baud Rate - Selects the appropriate baud rate for communication between the
computer and the printer.
• Local Event Printer Parity - Specifies the Parity Type for the event printer: None, Even , or Odd.
• Local Event Printer Data Bits - Selects either 7 or 8 bit data bits.
• Local Event Printer Stop Bits - Selects either 1 or 2 bit stop bits.
The Report printer is configured through Windows as the standard Default Windows Printer. In addition, though,
two options are provided here; Report Printer Font and Report Printer Pitch . These two settings tell the
software what font and what dot pitch to use when printing standard text.
• Suppress Automatic Device Icon Creation for New Devices - When activated, this prevents the
automatic creation of new device icons when events are annunciated. New devices can still be created
manually, and existing devices will function normally.

Database Synchronization Enabled
- When this box is checked (option enabled), databases on
remote workstations will automatically be synchronized with this workstation when database changes are
made.
