Configure alarm print commands

You can configure the Alarm Printer to send a printer command initialization sequence when the printer is first opened (that is, each time the query starts and stops). Printer command initialization sequences can be used to configure printer settings, such as the character pitch and the left and right print margins.

You can also configure alternate and normal print colors so that the print color indicates whether the alarm is in or outside of a specified range of alarm priorities. The alternate and normal color commands do not necessarily have to specify a color. They can also be used to enable/disable double-striking, emphasized printing, underlining, italic, or other differentiating print characteristics to make one set of alarm priorities appear visually distinct from the others.

Note: For monochrome printers, you might find that double-strike printing is much faster than emphasized printing.
