UnderPrinter Setup, enabling the Print Redirection featureallows
GPIBhard copy to go directly to a network printer.If Print
Redirection is on and there are no open GPIB device control
sessions, the AD007will i ntercept all traffic on the GPIB bus and
send it as a print job to a networked printer. The AD007 adapter uses
the LPD print server protocol (RFC1179).To enable this feature ,
selectPrint Redirection On.
NOTE. Toavoid GPIB conflicts, makesure that only one device at a
time is in the hardcopymode (EOI high). Do not leave i nstrumentsin
the hardcopy mode afte rthe print j obi sfi nished.
Toconnect to a network printer, do thesesteps:
1. Verifythat your print server supports LPD network printi ng.
2. Identify the server name or IP address of your LPD print server.
3. Identify the print queue of the desired print device.
4. Identify print format supported by the printer (e.g. Postscript,
Laserjet,Deskjet).
