The AM700 can also be configured to operate with a generic ASCII printer. A
generic ASCII printer is assumed to only print text; graphic functions are not
supported.
Hardcopy Output
Hard copies of data, screens, files, limits, and other data outputs of the AM700 will
be available on printers or plotters connected to RS-232C or GPIB ports.
Pressing the Copy button sends a copy of the display in the selected format to the
print spooler (temporary memory space) where it is queued for printing. The LED in
the Copy button flashes as long as the copy remains in the spooler.
To select the output format for a copy, you must use the menu selections for Copy
found in the Configure menu under System Setup. Press and hold the Copy button to
display the Copy Configuration screen (see Figure 1–6).
NOTE. Pressing and holding the Copy button immediately brings up the
Configure menu, with the System Setup choices for Copy displayed. This
is the same screen that is displayed by pressing the Configure button,
then System Setup, and then Copy.
