Revision 2.0

Typical Example

PrintPage(“page1”, TRUE)

The CX-Supervisor page is sent to the printer. The flag ‘TRUE’ indicates that the print dialog is
displayed first to allow for printer configuration. If ‘FALSE’ was specified instead of ‘TRUE’ then
the print dialog is not shown, the page is just printed.

PrintScreen

Syntax

returnstate = PrintScreen(flag)

Remarks

Argument Type

Description

returnstate

bool

Returnstate

is ‘1’ if the function is successful, or ‘0’ otherwise.

flag

bool

Flag to indicate whether the print setup dialog is to be displayed
before printing.

Typical Example

PrintScreen(FALSE)

All CX-Supervisor pages currently on view is printed. The flag ‘FALSE’ indicates that the print
dialog is not displayed. A flag of ‘TRUE’ causes the print dialog to be shown, allowing the user to
configure or choose the printer.

PrintSpoolQueue

Syntax

returnstate = PrintspoolQueue()

Remarks

Argument Type

Description

returnstate

bool

Returnstate

is ‘1’ if the function is successful, or ‘0’ otherwise.

Typical Example

PrintSpoolQueue

Any message (typically printed alarms) that are queued up waiting to be sent to the CX-Supervisor
Alarm/Message printer is printed immediately.
