PRN-7 is a 24-pin dot-matrix event printer used with Fire-Lite fire alarm control panels that have printer capability. It produces a time- and date-stamped hard copy of system events and status changes, along with printouts of the system configuration and addressable device parameters. On Fire-Lite MS-5UD and MS-10UD panels it connects through the ANN-S/PG serial/parallel printer gateway module.
