To Connect the Counter to a Printer via GPIB
You can connect the Counter to a printer via GPIB either with or without a computer.
If you connect a computer, you can operate the printer under program control. In the
absence of a computer, the Counter, when in talk-only, becomes the controller for the
printer.
To Select the GPIB Talk-Only Mode for Printing
1 Press and hold Recall (Utility) key, then cycle POWER key.
2 Press Recall (Utility) key until HP-IB: is displayed.
3 To set the GPIB to talk-only, press the appropriate arrow keys until HP-IB:
TALK is displayed.
The TALK choice follows 30 and precedes 0 in the set of choices for the GPIB menu
item.
NOTE BE SURE to press the Enter key to complete the numeric entry.
The talk-only operating mode is now stored in non-volatile memory, and does not
change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
