Connection Procedure
Connect a USB printer to the instrument using a USB cable. You can connect or remove the USB cable regardless
of whether the instrument’s power switch is on or off (hot-plugging is supported). If you connect a printer when the
power switch is on, the printer becomes available for use after the instrument identifies the printer.
• Do not connect multiple printers to the USB ports.
• While the printer is printing, do not turn OFF the printer or remove the USB cable.
• Do not connect or remove USB cables from the time when the instrument is turned on until key operation
becomes available (approximately 20 to 30 seconds).
Print Mode (Mode)
You can print the screen image in one of two modes. The screen capture is the same as that described in “
Screen Captures to Files (File)
.”
Hardcopy (Hardcopy)
The entire instrument screen is printed.
Normal (Normal)
The waveform area of the instrument screen is printed. The menu is not printed.
When the results of cursor measurements and automated measurement of waveform parameters are displayed,
they are output below the waveform area.
Printer Type (Format)
You can only use HP inkjet printers (HP InkJet).
Color (Color)
• ON: Prints using the same colors as the screen, excluding the background color. The grid is printed in black.
• OFF: Prints screen captures in the same way as when the instrument prints on the built-in printer.
• The comment may not be printed properly on some printers. Use a USB printer that has been tested for
compatibility.
• The instrument may not be able to detect out-of-paper or other errors on the USB printer. If an error occurs,
press PRINT again to stop the printout.
