Method Using The PT Status Control Bits
When the status of the screen printing bit (bit 7) of the PT status control bits is set
to 1 (ON), a hard copy of the screen displayed at that time is printed out.
For details, refer to

status of printer operating status bit (bit 7) of the PT status notify bits is 0 (OFF).

When printing is executed using the PT status control bits, it is not possible to

Printing Example
The display history and alarm history recorded in the PT can be printed out by
calling the display history and alarm history display screens from the System
Menu.
To print when the PT is running, display a display history dedicated screen, or a
screen for which an alarm history is registered, then print it using the screen print
function.
Switch between screens by pressing a touch switch allocated the screen switch-
ing function, or by writing the screen number to the screen switch setting word in
the PT status control area. To print a screen, either press a touch switch allo-
cated the screen print function or set the screen printing bit in the PT status con-
trol bits to ON. (Turning ON the screen print bit produces a hard copy of the
screen.)
The display history dedicated screens are:
Occurrence history screen:
9001
Frequency history screen:
9002
