A journal printer is a printer to which Emergency Access to Attendant, Wakeup
and Property Management System (PMS) events are printed as they occur. The
PMS-log printer is used as a backup of the PMS output device to print an audit
trail of all PMS transactions and Housekeeping Status Change events when the
PMS Printer Link is not available. There may be one or two journal printers. If
there is one, all events are printed there. If there are 2, then emergency access,
wakeup events, and scheduled reports are printed on one printer (JNL-PRNT),
and PMS events are printed at the other (PMS-PRNT).

The scheduled report printer is where summaries of daily wakeup activity and
emergency access activity are printed. If the customer requests a summary
report, the report will be printed exactly once per day.
emergency access activity are printed. If the customer requests a summary
report, the report will be printed exactly once per day.
The distinction between Journal and Scheduled report printers is logical rather
than physical. Whether or not there are two printers, the scheduled reports are
always sent to the printer that journals the wakeup and emergency access
events. A scheduled report will temporarily suspend the journal activity. Upon
completion of the scheduled report, journaling will be resumed after the printing
of all the withheld events.

The journal printer device connects to the system via a data module (PDM,
MPDM, DTDM) connected to a port on a TN754 Digital Line circuit pack that is
administered as a data extension. A journal printer device can also be connected
through an ADU to a port on TN726B Data Line circuit pack. The journal printer
link to the processor is via a system port. comprised of a port on the TN726B
Data Line circuit pack and a port on the TN553 Packet Data circuit pack
connected to each other in a null-modem fashion. Refer to the PDATA-PT
Maintenance Service Description for information on the system port connectivity.

PMS/JOURNAL Printer Link Maintenance provides a strategy for maintaining the
link between the system and a PMS device (an external Journal Printer device).
The strategy includes a set of tests for periodic diagnosis, detection of errors
during normal operation, actions for troubleshooting, and raising alarms for
serious problems. PMS Printer Link Maintenance uses a try-and-wait mechanism.
If a PMS Printer Link is torn down due to an error, PMS Printer Link Maintenance
will try to bring the link up immediately. If the link setup fails, PMS Link
