To Connect To An Hp-Ib Printer - Agilent Technologies HP 1660E Series User Manual

To connect to an HP-IB printer

Printers connected to the logic analyzer over HP-IB must support HP-
IB and Listen Always. When controlling a printer, the analyzer's HP-IB
port does not respond to service requests (SRQ), so the SRQ enable
setting does not have any effect on printer operation.
1 Turn off the analyzer and the printer, and connect an HP-IB cable
from the printer to the HP-IB connector on the analyzer rear
panel.
2 Turn on the analyzer and printer.
3 Make sure the printer is set to Listen Always or Listen Only.
For example, the figure below shows the HP-IB configuration switches
for an HP-IB ThinkJet printer. For the Listen Always mode, move the
second switch from the left to the 1 position. Because the instrument
doesn't respond to SRQ EN (Service Request Enable), the position of
the first switch doesn't matter.
