Printing the Display
After connecting the printer to the instrument and setting the printer and
instrument configurations, apply power to the printer.
Each menu has a Print field in the upper-right corner. Select the Print field
and a pop-up appears, displaying your choices.
•
Cancel is used to stop the instrument from sending data.
•
Print Screen prints everything shown on the screen.
•
Print All (available only in certain menus) prints all of the information
listed for that display, including any listings that do not appear on screen.
These listings can be 80 or 132 characters wide, depending on the Print
Width setting.
•
Print Disk is used to print measurement data to a DOS

or LIF disk, which
can then be copied into a computer file. The Print Disk function is the
same as the Print All function except the data is printed to a disk.
To initiate a hard copy print, perform the following steps:
1
Using the
arrow
keys highlight the
Print
field, then press the
Select
key.
2
Select the Print Screen or Print All field, then press the Select key.
The instrument does not check the operation of the printer, so no error
messages are displayed.
See Also "Print field" in the Common Menu Fields chapter for more information on
Print Disk.
