Printing

The calculator can print information using the HP 82240 Infrared Printer, which accepts the infrared signal from the printer port. This chapter describes information you can print. Operation of the printer is covered in the printer owner’s manual.*

Port

The print annunciator ()appears in the display whenever the calculator sends information through its printer port.

Because communication goes only one way―from calculator to printer

―the calculator cannot determine whether the printer is receiving information. If a printing operation involves many lines of information, the calculator slows its transmission rate to allow the printer time to print.

To preserve battery power, the calculator will not transmit data to the

printer when the low-power annunciator ( ) is on. If a low-power condition occurs after you’ve started a printing operation, printing stops and the calculator displays the message J1:: :EE 9EC :E 52;<:.

*Since the hp-17bII+ cannot send control characters to the printer, portions of the printer’s manual pertaining to control codes and graphics characters do not apply.
