If you are using the Model 5824 Serial/Parallel Interface, several printing options are
available. See Section 4.6 for information about installing the 5824.
1. From the Main Menu, select Printer Options.
2. From the next screen, select the 5824 module where the printer is connected.
3. If the printer is not currently busy printing another report, a screen with the following
options will be available. If the printer is busy, a message will display. You can press
to cancel the current print job. These options will then display.
Note: Detector status can also be viewed and printed using the SKSS or SKSS Facility Management Software.

= Event Logging
Enables event logging, which causes the printer to continuously print events as they occur. The
date/time will print in 24-hour military format. Once event logging is enabled, it will remain
enabled until canceled by the installer. If you need to disable event logging, return to this
option and press to disable.
Sample Event Log

History
Prints the up-to-1000 events currently stored in the panel’s event history buffer. Events print

and will print in 24-hour military format.
