6.3 Sending Data to a Printer or Computer
A permanent record of test results may be obtained using the
DTA RS232 serial output to drive a printer or by transferring the
data to a computer for storage. Data displayed on the instrument
screen may be sent to an accessory printer or computer by
attaching the DTA to the instrument and pressing the
PRINT key.
The data can be recalled from memory or the current sample
reading. Only the information shown on the display will
be printed.

2. Make sure the DTA is properly connected to the computer or
printer. See Section 6.2 RS232 Connections.
3. Press the
PRINT key. Four dashes and PRINT are displayed
while the data is being transmitted to the DTA.
