PRINT MESSAGES FROM
The user can select a group for message printing. These mes-
sages are printed as they occur, and are not dependent on job
action. Only those messages in the enabled categories (see
‘Messages to Print’ below) are printed.
MESSAGES TO PRINT
This set of enable boxes allows the user to select which, if any,
messages will be printed. Enable boxes appear even if the
relevant option is not fi tted.
Messages are printed as they arise, but reports take precedence. For example, if a report is to be printed
when channel one goes into alarm, and ‘Alarms’ is enabled in the ‘Messages To Print’ area, then the Re-
port is printed before the alarm message.
Note: Messages will be printed only if they are enabled in the relevant part of the recorder’s
confi guration. For example: ‘Logins’ messages will be printed only if ‘Record Logins’ is enabled in
the unit’s ‘Security’ confi guration (
section 4.4
), and ‘Alarms’ messages will be printed only if ‘Alarm
Message’ and/or ‘Ack Message’ are enabled in the relevant group’s confi guration (
section 4.3.2
).
