Printer Setup and Operation

Equipment

Agilent EMC Analyzer equipped with standard I/O Option A4H (GPIB) and (Parallel Interface) or Option 1AX (RS-232 and Parallel Interface).

IEEE 1284 compliant printer cable (such as HP C2950A).

Supported printer equipped with a parallel interface. (A supported printer is one that accepts Printer Control Language Level 3 or 5).

PCL3 printers include most HP DeskJet printers.

PCL5 printers include most HP LaserJet printers and the 1600C DeskJet printer.

Interconnection and Setup

1.Turn off the printer and the analyzer.

2.Connect the printer to the analyzer parallel I/O interface connector using an IEEE 1284 compliant parallel printer cable.

3.If appropriate, configure your printer using configuration menus or switches. Refer to your printer’s documentation for more specific information on configuring your printer.

4.Turn on the analyzer and printer.

5.Press Print Setup on the front panel and then press the Printer Type menu key. Printer Type accesses the following keys:

None

None disables the analyzer from attempting to print to a

 

printer. This is the appropriate setting if no printer is

 

connected to the analyzer.

Custom

Custom allows you to access the Define Custom menu

 

keys. The Define Custom menu keys allow you to specify

 

printer characteristics such as PCL Level and printer color

 

capability.

Auto

Auto enables the analyzer to automatically attempt to

 

identify the connected printer when the Print key is pressed

 

or when Printer Type is set to Auto.
