The FireFinder-XLS system requires a Siemens model RPM module to interface to a Centronics parallel
printer. When an RPM is used in conjunction with PAL-1, the FireFinder-XLS system provides a supervised
logging printer meeting the requirements of an NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL1076 Security system. The printer
is supervised for paper out, AC loss, and printer parallel cable removal.
