Creating Message Displays

Publication 2711-6.0

You can create an object to send all triggered messages to a printer
rather than displaying them in a Message Display. Any variables
embedded within the message also print.

A print object has the same properties as a message display.
However, when configuring the message you enter only the text that
will print, no formatting options.

Print objects are not linked to specific screens like display objects.
Therefore, messages can be triggered any time an application is
running.

The print object is only supported on terminals equipped with an
RS-232 serial printer port.

To create an object that will only print messages:

1. Choose Print Only Object Setup from the Application menu.

2. Click the New button.

3. In the Create text box, enter a unique name (1 to 32 characters)

for the print object. The name can include spaces and symbols.

4. Click OK to open a dialog to configure the print object.

Print Only Messages do
not support Internal tags.
