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.
