14.1 Outline of hardware copy operation
The screen image being displayed can be output to a printer by issuing a command from a
touch key or a bit device in the PLC. (It does not apply to F920GOT-K, F930GOT-K, F930GOT
and F933GOT.)
• The screen image being displayed is output to the printer connected to the RS-232C
interface of the GOT.
• Setting of the hard copy function is performed in the screen creation software.
• User screens only can be output to a printer. System screens cannot be output to a printer.
• Printing can be started/aborted by setting ON/OFF a corresponding bit device in the PLC or
by pressing a corresponding touch key.
• When starting printing, the GOT aborts communication with the PLC for approximately 1
second while storing the displayed screen image in the internal memory. After that, the GOT
automatically restarts communication.
