The Centronics parallel port of the 3560 can be used to connect the 1560 to a
standard printer. The printer can be used to print out measurement data.

Connection
The parallel printer port is located on the back of the 3560 Module. Use a stan-
dard Centronics parallel printer cable to connect to your printer. A shielded ca-
ble should be used to prevent EM emissions.

soft-key menu (see Section 5.4.2). Select the PARP device. A win-
dow appears showing the setup parameters for the Serial Printer Device:

addition to a carriage return character (ASCII 0D hex or 13 decimal). Use the
LR
buttons to change the parameter then press
