Advancing to Next Parameter:
The next parameter in Category B is PARAMETER 38. Because it is not
sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the
to PARAMETER 38, press the N key.
The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER
NUMBER 35]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the next
parameter number.
You can reach PARAMETER 38 in one of several ways. Press either:
• 3 then 8 , or

Background:
The CP-220A Receivers in many Central Stations are most often used with
an Automation System and an attached printer. As a result, the CP-220A is
almost always operated in its AUTOMATIC mode, in which it neither stores
nor displays its incoming messages, but simply decodes and delivers them to
both the Automation System and the printer. Thus, in the AUTOMATIC
mode, no operator intervention is required.
NOTE: The CP-220A's AUTOMATIC and MANUAL modes are discussed in
greater detail on page 2-103, and in PARAMETER 40, on page 2-39.
If the CP-220A is operating in the AUTOMATIC mode and a printer is
connected, the Central Station runs the risk that should the printer fail,
subscriber messages would be lost. PARAMETER 38 is used to instruct the
CP-220A as to whether it should leave the AUTOMATIC mode and enter the
MANUAL mode in the event that the printer is out of service, disconnected,
"off-line," or out of paper.
Programming Procedures:
After entering PARAMETER 38, [PRINTER FAIL / MAN ON] (meaning "if
the printer fails, go to the MANUAL mode") will be displayed. The [ON]
after [MAN] will be flashing.
Press the NEXT key or the MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to toggle between
[PRINTER FAIL/MAN ON] and [PRINTER FAIL/MAN OFF], which keeps
the CP-220A in its AUTOMATIC mode (if an Automation System is being
used to record the messages) in the event that the printer fails.
