PRINTING ACTIVATION
By means of a lodge switchboard it is possible to print (with the reception time) all incoming calls, and possibly also the acti-
vations of functions F1, F2, lock release and calls made by the same switchboard.
1) To carry out the printing you must have, besides the printer with parallel cable, a proper interface Art. 945/I (installed on the
base of the same switchboard). The printer parallel cable must be connected to the socket for printer (CANNON 25 pins)
placed on the rear panel of the same switchboard.
2) Through the programming menu (push-button R+
) you must select the option (2) "PROGRAMMING OF COMMANDS
TO BE SENT FOR PRINTING" ("COM. TO PRINT" on display) to select the command you want to be sent for printing (for
its use see above, point 2 of programming menu).
3) By means of the "Setup Stampante" parameter ("Printer Setup" , whose default value is 0, it is possible to set the printing
mode according to the type of printer connected (see underneath."SETTING THE TYPE OF PRINTER".
4) Now on receiving each chosen command “CALL FROM INTERPHONE”, but also function F1, F2, LOCK RELEASE and
CALLS FROM SWITCHBOARD) the switchboard will print a line including the reception time, the command description
and the calling number.
SETTING THE TYPE OF PRINTER
Through parameter "Setup Stampante" ("Printer Setup") whose default value is 0, it is possible to adapt the printing to the
connected printer.
With 0 default value the interface send the completed line to the printer only with "Carriage- Return" command (CR=13).
This printing mode is usually suitable for all "dot impact " printers. Pratically, on receiving the line completed by the CR, the
printer edits immediately the line and forces a "new line" (i.e. it goes to the following line).
In some printers, besides the CR character, also the "Line Feed" caracter is required (LF = 10). If the printer does not print the
lines you can attempt to add such character entering parameter "PRINTER SETUP" = 16.
With "ink-jet " printers or similar, it is not usually possible to print the single lines one at time. Such printers memorize line by
line and then print them on receiving a proper character, which, unfortunately, forces also the paper expulsion.
It is possible to send such command ("espulsione pagina" (paper expulsion) = 12+11) by pressing "R" push-button simulta-
neously with "C" push-button.
It is also possible to expel the page after a certain number of lines (for example, every 30 lines there is a data printing).
To do so ADD to "PRINTER SETUP" (whose value is 0 or 16 according to the above mentioned instructions) the number of the
wanted tens of lines (for example 2 to print every 20 lines, max = 7). Doing so the printer will carry out the printing with the
paper expulsion each time it receives the required lines.
As a result it is clear that the most suitable is surely the "dot impact" printer, even in "industrial" versions with 40 columns
(typically with thermical paper).

TO FORCE THE EXPULSION OF THE PRINTER PAPER
If the printer is connected and it has a printing buffer, press R+C to force the printing of the buffer in memory (with paper

ADVISED PRINTERS
Dot impact printers, even with only 40 columns. (Ink jet printer: Hp-Deskjet 600 when printing only full pages).
