Configure Print Options
You can configure settings for printing displays, alarm messages, or diagnostic
messages from FactoryTalk View ME Station applications. The setup for printing
displays and messages is the same; however, the advanced settings are different.
PanelView Plus 6 Compact terminals are shipped with support for a large
selection of Canon, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, and Brother Printers. Printer
installation attempts to use USB Plug-and-Play capabilities to the extent that
known printers are mapped automatically to the appropriate driver. The printing
solution lets applications and users select, manage, and share printers without
knowing the underlying details of the printer. Printers that do not configure
automatically to the appropriate driver can be installed manually.
Follow these steps to access the print setup.
1. Press a Terminal Settings>Print Setup> option:
• Alarm Print Setup
• Diagnostic Setup
• Display Print Setup
Print Setup displays installed printers that are available to the FactoryTalk
View Machine Edition application.
The terminals are not shipped with pre-configured printers, so initially the
dialog box appears empty. The appearance of the dialog box depends on
what printers you install.
2. Select an installed printer.
TIP
The printer you select must be listed in Printers in the Control Panel.
For a list of supported printers, go to:
and search the
Knowledgebase for ID 111636.
A failed attempt to automatically install a printer is reported in the
system event log.
A printer that does not install automatically can be installed manually
by using the control panel in Windows Explorer.
