13.1 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 con-
ductor during operation. Make certain connections are secure.
The printer can be connected only when the Z3001 RS-232C interface is connected.
The communication speed and flow control can be changed with instrument settings.
However, the instrument and printer must be configured with the same settings.
