Using Instrument Functions
Connecting and Configuring Printers and Plotters
The analyzer can send print commands in PCL5, PCL, Epson, or HP-GL
languages. Recommended usages are:
• Use PCL5 mode for maximum speed, if your printer supports it.
HP LaserJet III/4/5 models support PCL5. Typical time to generate
and send hardcopy output to a PCL5 printer is 1 to 10 seconds.
• Use PCL or Epson language if your printer does not support PCL5.
The analyzer uses Epson ESC P1 commands that are common to IBM
mode devices and FX-86e/FX-800 mode Epson compatible devices.
• Use HP-GL language for plotters.

your printing/plotting device. (Refer to your printer or plotter manual
for the baud rate of your device.) You can set the baud rate to 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 baud. If you are
sending graphics to the hardcopy device, the fastest supported baud
