7.2 Printer Connection
Because electric shock and instrument damage hazards are
present, always follow the steps below when connecting the
printer.
• Always turn off the instrument and the printer before
connecting.
• A serious hazard can occur if a wire becomes dislocated and
contacts another conductor during operation. Make certain
connections are secure.
• To avoid damaging the instrument and printer, do not connect and
disconnect the connectors when the power is on.
• If using a cable other than the 9638 RS-232C CABLE, the connector
at the instrument end should be a molded type. The metal type (with
hooks preventing the surface from being flat) will not fit due to the
instrument's design.
The requirements for a printer to be connected to the instrument are
as follows.
Confirm compatibility and make the appropriate settings on the
printer before connecting it to the instrument.
