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.

address of your printing/plotting device (typical factory defaults: printer
= 01, plotter = 05). Use the front panel numeric key pad to make your
entry.
Configuring the
Analyzer for a LAN
Printer

. Use an external keyboard connected to
the analyzer's rear panel DIN KEYBOARD connector and type in the
LAN IP address. (For information on using a keyboard, see

Configuring the
Analyzer for
RS-232 Devices
1. If the baud rate of your printing/plotting device is different than the
factory default (19200), press
and enter the baud rate of
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
rate is recommended.
2. Choose between Xon/Xoff which specifies a software handshake (this
is the default), and DTR/DSR which specifies a hardware handshake.
