Printing
Reference - The NT31/NT31C continues operation even while the screen hard copy is being
printed.
- It is necessary to ensure that the “printer operation status” (bit 7) among the PT
status notify bits is “0” (OFF) before starting printing.
- Once screen printing has been started by operation of the PT status control bit, it
is not possible to stop printing.
- If screen printing is specified during printing by the NT31/NT31C, the screen
printing instruction is ignored.
[Setting]
The PT status control area must be allocated to a word in the host, accordingly, no
special settings are required for printing a hard copy of the screen.
