Print Methods
There are two main print methods.
Press the FEED key on the front panel if you are using the internal printer and
want to feed the paper.
*. Differences in printing operation according to function:
Memory Function
The time when printing starts after data acquisition differs according to the time-
base setting.
Printing starts at the same time as waveform display if Roll Mode is enabled and
you are using the internal printer.
(Settings: Roll Mode(p. 102):
[On] or [Auto] , Output Destination: [Printer] )
Recorder Function
Printing starts at the same time as waveform display (Real-Time Print).
However, in the following cases, printing lags data acquisition.
• When the timebase is set faster than 500 ms/div (or faster than 2 s/div with
numerical printing on the Model 8995-01 A6 Printer Unit)
• When the timebase is set faster than 2 s/div while using the Model 9684 DC
Power Unit
Printing is not available when [Cont] is selected for the recording length in the
above cases.
FFT Function
Printing is possible when FFT calculations are finished. However, when averag-
ing is enabled, printing is possible only after the specified count to be averaged
has been measured.
12.2 Print Methods and Print Items
Auto Print (p. 317)
Printing starts automatically when measurement starts.
Printing operation varies depending on the selected func-
tion. *
• Auto Print (Memory Function and FFT Function)
• Real-Time Print (Recorder Function)
Manual Print
(PRINT key output)
(p. 319)
Press the PRINT key at any time to start printing.
There are two print methods.
• Selection Print (p. 319)(default setting)
Start printing after selecting items in the dialog which
appears when you press the PRINT key.
• Quick Print (p. 321)
Start printing pre-selected items as soon as you press
the PRINT key.
