Printing Screens
You can connect a printer with an RS-232 interface to any module using the
proper cable.
A converter from a serial (RS-232) to a parallel (Centronics) connection is available from
N O T E
Agilent Technologies, part number 5181-1529. The RS-232 settings in the 1200 module must
be the same as set with the dip-switches on the cable:
Serial - 19200 baud - 8 databits, 1 stopbit - no parity
You can configure the printer by pressing the Configure button [F2] in the
System screen and then selecting LC System. In the following Config screen
press the Printer button [F1] to open the respective dialog. In this dialog you
can choose the printer model and the module it is connected to. Define a page
layout (including paper size, a banner text and the margins) using the Page
button [F8]. Use the Serial button [F7] to enter settings for the RS-232
connection, such as baudrate, bits and parity. This setting can be made
individually for each module in the respective configuration settings (see
"Connecting External Devices"
If the setup is complete you may print a test page using the corresponding
button.
In many cases a print function is provided via the context menu to be accessed with the m
N O T E
(menu) key, e.g. from the vial range entry fields in the Analysis screen, from the Samples
screen and from the online information system.
Print Plot
In the Plot screen you can create a screen hard copy using the m (menu) key
and selecting Print Plot from the context menu. The printout will also include a
legend and the date and time.
