AUTO MESSAGE ON
Background:
PARAMETER 43 relates to the manner in which the CP-220A's printer
operates when the receiver is in the MANUAL mode. Typically, when in the
MANUAL mode, the CP-220A stores all incoming messages, and displays
them one at a time, in response to the use of the NEXT key.
However, in terms of the CP-220A's printer, the same messages are
automatically printed as they arrive, without being "buffered" or controlled
via the use of the NEXT key.
Alternatively, PARAMETER 43 can be used to "link" the data sent to the
printer with that sent to the display, so that incoming messages will be
printed only when they are displayed, and therefore controlled by the NEXT
key.
Programming Procedures:
After entering PARAMETER 43, [AUTO MESSAGE ON] will be displayed
and [ON] will be flashing. You may press the NEXT key or the
MANUAL/PREVIOUS key to toggle between [ON], which transfers message
to the printer independently of the use of the display; or [OFF], which sends
data to the printer at the time it is displayed through the use of the NEXT
key. Remember that PARAMETER 43 only relates to the MANUAL mode.
Default:
[AUTO MESSAGE ON] is the default. As such, in the MANUAL mode, all
incoming messages will be printed as they're received.
Advancing to Next Parameter:
The next parameter is the first in Category C, Computer Operation, and is
PARAMETER 00. Because it is not sequential, it cannot be reached with a
single press of the
PARAMETER 43, press the N key.
The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER
NUMBER 43]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the next
parameter number.
You can reach PARAMETER 00 by pressing the 0 key twice.
