To add additional hardcopies to the printer spool, press HARDCOPY again after
the hardcopy in process message is removed from the screen.
You can add hardcopies to the spool until it is full. When adding a hardcopy fills
the spool, the message "Hardcopy in Process—Press HARDCOPY to abort"
remains displayed. You can abort only the last hardcopy sent by pressing the
button while the message is still displayed. When the printer empties enough of
the spool to finish adding the last hardcopy, it does so and then removes the
message.
To remove all hardcopies from the spool, press SHIFT
Clear Spool (main)
The logic scope takes advantage of any unused RAM when spooling hardcopies
to printers. The size of the spool is, therefore, variable. The number of hardco-
pies that can be spooled depends on three variables:
the amount of unused RAM
the hardcopy format chosen
the complexity of the display
Although not guaranteed, usually about 2.5 hardcopies can be spooled before the
logic scope must wait to send the rest of the third copy.
To send hardcopies to a floppy disk, do the following steps.
1. Set up the logic scope communication and hardware parameters as outlined
in To Set Up for Making Hardcopies on page 3–88.
2. Insert a formatted 720 Kbyte or 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk into the slot at the
left of the logic scope display.
NOTE. To format disks, delete hardcopy files you save to disk, and otherwise
manage the disk storage, see Managing the File System on page 3–61.
3. Press SHIFT HARDCOPY MENU
specify that any hardcopy made be output to a file on the floppy drive. The
file list and its scrollbar will appear.
4. Turn the general purpose knob to place the scroll bar over the file in which to
store the hardcopy.
OK Confirm Clear Spool (side).
