7.6 Printing Messages
You can print alarm and event messages as a
direct message log and
full printout of the message buffer
forced printout upon buffer overflow (refer to section 7.5.2).
7.6.1 Direct Message Logging
Event and alarm messages can be printed upon arrival and departure (alarm
messages upon acknowledgment, too) this was set when the message was
configured. System messages are not logged directly.
If direct message logging follows another print function, the header of the
direct message log is re-printed.
If the printer is disabled, not ready or assigned to another print function, up to
16 messages are stored temporarily. Temporary storage of the messages for
the message log is independent of the message buffer concerned.
Direct message printing can be enabled and disabled online by means of a
standard screen:
1. Choose the standard screen System
→
Printer.
2. A parameter list is displayed.
3. Move the cursor on the parameter list to Message Log.
4. By entering a symbolic value, set ON or OFF.
5. Confirm by pressing the ENTER key.
6. Exit from the standard screen by pressing the ESCAPE key.
