By default the Exprecium
does not verify printer status on parallel port but sends data to be printed as if
a printer was connected to this port.
(Yes) option tells the Exprecium receiver to verify and report on the status of the printer connected to
its parallel port. A connector is supplied to daisy chain multiple receiver cards ( Exprecium, TLR+
or TLR ) in the same computer to send all output to one printer only.
When Check printer option is enabled (Yes) and the computer is absent, each event being sent to
printer triggers a warning buzzer. This warning sound may be stopped by clicking twice the ON-LINE
printer key. Buzzing resumes if printer is left Off-line.
Do not set the "Yes" parameter if no printer is installed. Multiple error messages could be generated
by taking this action.
