To Connect To A Parallel Printer - Agilent Technologies HP 1660E Series User Manual

To connect to a parallel printer

1 Turn off the analyzer and the printer, and connect a parallel
printer cable from the printer to the parallel printer connector on
the analyzer rear panel.
2 Before turning on the printer, configure the printer for parallel
operation.
The printer's documentation will tell you what switches or menus need
to be configured.
3 Turn on the analyzer and printer.
4 Go to the System External I/O menu and configure the analyzer's
printer settings.
a If the analyzer is not already set to Parallel, select the field
under Connected To: in the Printer box and choose Parallel
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.
There are no settings specific to the parallel printer connector.
