Some printers used cannot print per line in real-time printing. This is because the printers don't support paper feed per line.
There are two methods for printing sampling data: Real Time Printing prints data every time sampling occurs; Block Unit Printing prints data in collected groups.

Real-time Print
Data is printed each time sampling occurs.
Batch
Designate the block number, turn ON bit 0 of the [Print Control Word Address], and all the data from the designated block will be outputted.
When in the [Mode] tab's Extended area the [Overwrite old data after finishing the specified cycles] check box is selected, only the Real Time Print option can be selected. The calculation rows cannot be set. Headers/Footers cannot be printed.
Before printing data, you must connect a printer to the display unit and configure the printer settings.

If [Add Time Data] is not set in the Action, the Date column and Time column will be blank.
You cannot configure the alignment (Align Left/Align Right) for Date, Time, and Data columns. Item Names are always aligned left and data is printed in the center.
For example, Display Characters = 12
If you selected [Enable multiple data types] in the [Address] tab (accessible from [Common Settings] - [Sampling]), calculated values for non-numerical columns will be blank.
