To Print Directly to a Hardcopy Device
To make your hardcopies, use the procedures that follow.
To connect the logic scope directly to a hardcopy device, determine which
interface and cable the device uses, and connect accordingly. (See Figure 3-45.)
Some devices, such as the Tektronix HC100 Plotter, use the GPIB interface.
Many printers, such as the Tektronix HC200, use Centronics interfaces. Many
hardcopy devices, including the HC100 and HC200 with option 03, provide
RS-232 support. (Check the documentation for your hardcopy device.)

While the hardcopy is being sent to the printer, the logic scope will display the
