When a [Status] address ([Status: (1 Word)] D00006 in the above example) is allocated to the device/PLC, bit 2 of this address (printing bit) is ON while printing the displayed screen. After printing, this bit automatically turns OFF. Create [Script] to turn OFF the control address ([Control:(1 Word)] D00014) bit 2 after making sure this bit has turned OFF.
