08 Printer Port Option
This option allows the instrument to generate a hardcopy printout of the test results. The
printout can be configured to print automatically with each test or manually by pressing a front
panel key. There is also capability to enter a device ID number to each test that increments
automatically after each test is performed. The test can be further configured to print only
results from tests that have failed or to print all test results from every test performed.
The Printer Port is a parallel interface and should be compatible with most parallel printers. The
printer port output uses simple ASCII characters and control codes. Simply connect the printer
to the HypotULTRA III and configure the printer output using the Setup Systems menu. At the
System Setup screen, scroll the highlighted area to <more>. The Print Format setting screen
will now be displayed. From the Print Format setting screen, six different parameters may be
accessed; Device ID number, Mode, Test Result, Test Setting, Device ID, and Form Feed. The
Print Format setting screen will appear as follows:

Mode
From the Print Format setting screen, press the “Mode” soft key. As the soft key is pressed, the
mode will change between three available print modes Auto, Manual and OFF.
In the Auto mode, the HypotULTRA III will automatically send the test results to the printer at
the end of every complete test. The ENTER key may also be used from the end of test
summary screen or the results screen to create additional printouts as needed.
In the manual mode, there are three different ways to create a printout. The first method is to
press the ENTER key at the end of a test. The second method is to press the ENTER key from
the Results screen. The third way is to press the Print Results softkey from the Perform test
screen.
