Printing RSView 32 Screens automatically

[Bruce Flett 0]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have RSView 32 screens printing automatically. The Data is displayed and logged with no problem and I can print a current screen, but would like it to print at the time of shift changes automatically. Any help would be appreciated. Bruce

in the global connections setup, there is a remote print field in the display tab. from the help file... Remote Display Print Assign an analog or digital tag or an expression to this control to allow the data source to trigger the printing of graphic displays. The application reads the value of the control and prints the currently visible display when the value changes from zero to a non-zero value. Everything on the screen is printed, including the current display, pop-up windows, and any visible background applications. Turn off the screen saver if you assign this control. While a display is being printed, subsequent print requests from the data source are ignored until the display print is finished. if the screen you want to display isn't the one you want to print, change the screens with RemoteScreen from plc.

The original poster stated he was using RSView32. I believe the Remote Display Print is for FactoryTalkView or whatever it's called today. You could set up an event to execute a "PrintDisplay ScreenToBePrinted" command. Trigger the event using the system\hour tag or through your PLC logic.
