Issue
Can a USB connected printer be used a as a Live Alarm Printer configured for continuous printing?
Environment
Live Alarm
Cause
To provide the continuous printing function Sigma maintains a connection between the print queue and the printer, therefore keeping the port open and available at all times. Due to the way they operate, it is not possible for USB ports to remain open.
Resolution
It is not possible to use a USB printer for continuous printing.
The USB "Page Printing" option operates correctly.
