12.1 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.
• As much as possible, avoid printing in hot and humid environments. Otherwise, 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 impossible.
• If the recording paper is skewed on the roller, paper jams may result.
The communication speed and flow control can be changed with instrument settings. However,
the IM3570 and printer must be configured with the same settings.
