Printer Module V1.1
APR-PRT3
Printed in Canada 06/2007 paradox. co m APRPRT3-EI00

Introduction

The Printer Module (APR-PRT3) provides the ability to automatically print live or stored events.
Sample Printout: 2007/06/12 07:17 Partition 1 Arming with master John Doe 2007/06/12 18:09 Partition 1 Disarming with master John Doe

Home Automation Interface Capabilities

When used with an EVO Series or DGP-848 (V4.11 or higher) control panel, the Printer Module can also be used as an interface between a home a utomation system and your control panel. Fo r information on this feature and its related programming sections, refer to the ASCII Protocol Programming Instructions and/or C-Bus Programming Instructions available on our website at paradox.com.

Technical Specifications

Spectra 1728 or 1738 control panel (V2.0 or higher) APR-PRT3 can be used to replace a APR3-PRT1
*When using the APR-PRT3 with the EVO192, the first 96 zones will be recognized.

Printer Requirements

Dot matrix, inkjet or laser printer s can be connected through one of your computer’s COM ports to the Printer Module’s serial port. Events can be displayed and printed using communication software like Procomm™, Telix© and HyperTerminal®. It is recommended that only dot matri x printers that support a minimum of 80 columns be connected directly to the Printer Module. Only dot matrix printers can print individual events in real time.
