Go to the System External I/O menu and configure the analyzer’s
printer settings.

a

If the analyzer is not already set to HP-IB, select the field under
Connected To: in the Printer box and choose HP-IB from the menu.

b

Select the Printer Settings field.

c

In the top field of the pop-up, select the type of printer you are using.
If you are using an Epson graphics printer or an Epson-compatible
printer, select Alternate.

d

If the default print width and page length are not what you want,
select the fields to toggle them.

If you select 132 characters per line when using a printer other than
QuietJet, the listings are printed in a compressed mode. QuietJet
printers can print 132 characters per line without going to compressed
mode, but require wider paper.

e

Press Done.
