Printing a Screen Image
The following two methods are available for printing out a hard copy of the current-
ly displayed screen.
S Using a touch switch with the screen print function
When creating the screen to be printed out, register a touch switch with the
screen print touch switch for it.
When this screen is displayed during operation, pressing the touch switch will
cause a hard copy of the screen to be printed out.
For details, refer to 7-7 “Touch Switches” (page 334).
Reference - The NT31/NT31C continues operation during printing.
- If a touch switch with the function for stopping printing has been registered for
the screen, printing can be stopped by pressing this touch switch.
S 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 7-2-1 “PT Status Control Area (Host to NT31/NT31C)” (page
265).
Reference - The NT31/NT31C continues operation during printing.
- Before setting the status of the “screen printing” bit to “1” (ON), confirm that the
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
stop printing part way through.
