Printer Tab
In the System Administration dialog box, under the Printer tab the user can setup the
communications port settings if the printer is connected to a call port, refer to Figure 2.24. The
NCS supports two types of printer:
• An Event (line) printer that can be attached to the COM or LPT port for printing of all events
received by the NCS.
• A Graphics Printer that can be attached to the LPT Port for printing graphics. If attached, it
must be set as the default printer.
Note: If a line and graphic printer are to be used by the NCS, event printer must be connected to a COM port.
Figure 2.24 The Printer Tab
Event Printer Setup - The event printer is usually connected to the serial port, but can be
connected to the parallel port. The event printer is used to print all events as they are received by
the NCS. The printer will be activated as soon as the event is received. If the printer is connected
to a serial port, certain options must be selected. These include the communications port the printer
is connected to, the BAUD rate, the parity, the number of data bits, and the number of stop bits.
These settings must match the settings in the printer itself. If the event printer is connected to the
parallel port, these options are not applicable.
The Printer itself must be set with the same options selected here. In addition, the compressed
mode of operation (17 cpi) must be selected. This is required so that an event can be printed on a
single line. If not selected, an event will wrap to the next line.
Graphics Printer Setup - the graphics printer is a laser printer connected to the LPT port. The
setup for this printer must be done in Windows. Any Windows NT 4.0 Workstation compatible
printer that will work connected to the parallel port can be used. This printer is to be used to print
screens, any history file, and any reports generated by the NCS.
Voice Tab
There are two types of voice messages in the NCS. Those that are linked to an event or command,
and those which are linked to a device. Files which are linked to events or commands must be in
the "Waves" directory. Files which will be linked to a device must be in the "Sounds" file directory.
Refer to Figure 2.25.
