In the case of Memory Link Method |
When the bit #02 of +11 in the system data area is turned ON, the currently displayed screen is printed.
When this bit turns ON, the bit #02 of +1 in the system data area turns ON automatically.
While the bit #02 of +1 turns ON, hardcopy of the screen is being processed. Therefore, be careful not to perform Change Screen or Change to Offline.
When hardcopy is completed, the bit #02 of +1 turns OFF automatically.
However, since the bit #02 of +11 in the system data area does not turn OFF automatically, turn OFF the bit #02 of +11 on the host's side after the bit #02 of +1 turns OFF.

To cancel it in the middle of printing, |
Turning ON the bit #11 of +14 in the system data area can cancel hardcopy.
However, since the bit #11 of +14 does not turn OFF automatically after cancellation, be sure to turn it OFF on the PLC's side.
