Print Message
If the Print message attribute is set to Y , then the DL40 Message Display
will send any triggered message to a printer via the DL40 RS-232 Port. The
message will be printed only once (even if the
Auto repeat attribute is
active) unless the message contains changed variable data. If new variable
data is received while the message is running, then the message will be
printed more than once. Type

Send to Slave
If you enter a slave number here and a message is triggered via the Remote
I/O or Parallel or Keyboard ports, the message will be sent to the slave with
the specified address. This attribute is valid for all Run Modes. However, the
slave address set when operating in the Message/Variable/Slave Run Mode
overrides this attribute.
