1. Save the data to a file as described in the individual module user manuals
under the discussions of the print overlays.
2. Transfer the file to the host computer or workstation using one of the file
transfer utilities.
3. Edit the file as an ASCII file.
4. Verify that the file contains only a single page of output data.
Look for a line towards the end of the file containing the following
information:

need to readjust the print parameters for only one page of output data on the
system in the print overlay.
5. Change the first line in the file to the following:
Note that the % character must be the first character in the file.
6. Save the file and rename it (if necessary, for your application; some files
require EPS files to have specific extensions).
By following the above procedure, you can treat the output file like any other
EPS file.
You can use the Setup Print overlays to print data to HP Laserjet printers. The
following steps describe how to print data to an HP Laserjet printer.

left mouse button to call the appropriate print overlay.
2. Set the Lines per Page field to 59.
3. Enter the remaining printer parameters.
4. Select the appropriate function key legend to print the data.
Printing begins with a blank page. Data is printed on the remaining pages.
