8.7 Printer Output Function
When the GP-IB or RS-232C interface is set to printer mode (Pr.), the
measured value and settings can be printed by the listen only printer
connected to the GP-IB or RS-232C interface.
For how to set this function, refer to Section 4.9, "Setting the Interface."
･ In Pr. mode, PRINT lamp is lit.
･ If in Co. mode or address setting is made by GP-IB, it will not output to the
printer
･ Set the GP-IB printer to listen-only mode.
･ For the RS-232C printer, match the communication terms (baud rate, data
length, parity, stopbit) with 3332 unit. When changing the settings for 3332,
refer to Section 4.9, "Setting the Interface"
･ Depending on the printer, either the pin 2 or the pin 3 is the receiver pin.
① If the pin 2 is the receiver pin, use a straight cable.
② If the pin 3 is the receiver pin, use a cross cable.
･ Screw the interface cable in so it will not fall off. In addition always use
shielded cables.
･ Depending on processing performance of the printer, the printer may not be
able to keep up with the set print interval. If this happens, increase the print
interval or reduce the number of items being printed as explained in 4.8,
"Setting the Printer."

per line.
