6.1 Connecting the Printer
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.
• As much as possible, avoid printing in hot and humid environments. Other-
wise, printer life may be severely shortened.
• Use only compatible recording paper in the printer. Using non-specified
paper may not only result in faulty printing, but printing may become impos-
sible.
• If the recording paper is skewed on the roller, paper jams may result.
The optional printer model 9670 is no longer available. Their model 9670 printers
can still use.
