Logging to printer is a way of making a permanent record of Operator and User Actions. This printing occurs automatically. As each Action occurs, a line is printed on the printer. (Three lines are printed for a Text Type tag in Action). Acknowledgement by the operator or user is also recorded.
To have Action Log and Action Print Automatically and Continuously to a Printer:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Connect to Advantech WebAccess/SCADA Configuration
3. Open Project Manager for Your Project
4. Select your SCADA node
5. Select Node Property
6. Select Action Log to Printer (see also, Action Log to Printer)
1 = LPT1 (Line Printer Port 1 also known as Parallel Printer Port 1)
2 = LPT2 (Line Printer Port 2 also known as Parallel Printer Port 2)
3 = LPT3 (Line Printer Port 3 also known as Parallel Printer Port 3)
Default = The Windows Default Printer (if one is configured for your PC) (Start->Settings-Printers).
Note that if Action Log to Printer is selected, it is highly recommended to use a dot matrix or Line Printer. If you use an ordinary LaserJet, Print Jet or other buffered printer, you will either get one Action per page, or your Actions print when a page is full, except if someone else uses the printer.
