5.4.3 To Set the Alarm
The Alarm option settings allow for different combinations of events to be
selected to trigger the external alarm.
When a printer warning or failure event occurs, the system activates an
internal alarm tone (beeper), and an LED on the front control panel. In a
warning condition the alarm tone is pulsed twice, whereas in a failure
condition the alarm tone sounds continuously.
If an external alarm is fitted, this is also activated. The external alarm
output is either used to control an internally generated 24 volts for a
24-volt external alarm (standard), or volt-free for a mains controlled alarm
(available as an option).
To set the alarm:
Note that the printer must be in the “Jet Off” state to change the alarm
settings. To verify this, check the Status in the PRINT STATUS screen.
1. At the CURRENT MESSAGE screen, press the [F4] function key.
