When you press
on the SPECTRONIC 200, an exact copy of what is on the screen
(without the watermark logo if printing from the Live Display mode) is sent to the printer.
On the thermal printer, the output is monochrome and approximately 4 cm wide by 3 cm
high. On laser printers, the output will be printed in color if the printer supports color. The
screen image on a laser printer print-out is approximately 10 cm wide by 7 cm high.
Selecting the Printer option from the Administration menu displays the screen shown in
. Make the appropriate selection for your printer and press
to confirm your
choice.

Note that printers which are multi-function devices (i.e., they incorporate a scanner, fax
machine, copier or memory device reader), are not supported. Check the specification sheet
provided by the manufacturer of your printer to verify that it supports PCL5e or PCL6 before
attempting to print to it. Printers that do not support one of these protocols will not work
with the SPECTRONIC 200.
Customize Logo
The SPECTRONIC 200 provides the facility to customize the logo shown as a watermark in
Live Display mode in the Modern Interface.
Logo images must be bitmap (.bmp extension) files that are 320 pixels wide and 195 pixels
high. 24 bit color images are supported. Images should be at least 80% transparent in order
not to interfere with the readability of the Live Display screen. Use an image editing program
to produce your image or logo in a watermark format. If your image editing software does not
support degrees of transparency, greatly increasing the brightness and decreasing the contrast
will give much the same effect. The DVD that ships with your instrument contains a bitmap
file of a blank, white screen that can be saved to a USB memory device and uploaded to erase
the Thermo Scientific logo if customers find it to be undesirable.
NOTICE
Only page printers that support PCL5e or PCL6 printer language will work
with the SPECTRONIC 200.
