Save and load configuration files

When you start the Alarm Printer from WindowMaker, the Alarm Printer dialog box shows the default configuration settings. These configuration settings are saved in an alarm configuration file (.alc).

You can save your printer configuration settings to a file that can be loaded before printing alarms.

A specific alarm configuration file can be shown if it is opened in run time from the command prompt or by double-clicking its *.alc file name.
