To connect a printer

If you have a parallel (Centronics) printer, you will need a parallel printer cable,

such as an C2950A (2 m) or C2951A (3 m) cable. Go to step 1.

If you have a serial printer, you will need a 9-pin to 25-pin serial printer cable,

such as an 34398A cable, plus the 34399A adapter kit. Some printers may

require other cable configurations, but the oscilloscope has a 9-pin serial

connector. Go to step 5.

1 Attach the 25-pin small “D” connector to the printer output connector

on the rear of the oscilloscope. Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the

cable.

2 Attach the larger 36-pin “D” connector to the printer. Latch the wire

bails into the tabs on each side of the connector.
