The 4100-1293 Panel-Mounted Printer (Figure 1) is used with the 4100/4100U/4100ES Fire
Alarm System. The panel-mounted printer provides hard copy reports of the master control panel's
output and provides conformance with proprietary operation (formally known as NFPA 72D). The
thermal, dot matrix panel-mounted printer displays twenty visible lines of print, has a column
width of forty characters, and is capable of printing variable output formats on standard 2.350-inch
wide thermal paper.
The panel-mounted printer does not require any changes to its default switch or jumper settings. It
automatically detects the interface which is sending data and produces the appropriate output. The
serial interface parameters are factory-set and stored on the printer firmware. The standard factory
settings for the serial interface parameters are: 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit.
