Form Feed Softkey
The form feed softkey allows you to select on or off. If form feed is set
to on, the printer performs a form feed at the end of the hardcopy. If
form feed is off, the page is scrolled up four lines when the hardcopy is
complete.
Paper Length Softkey
The paper length softkey selects between 11-inch or 12-inch page
lengths for auto form feed. The 11-inch page is a U.S. standard and the
12-inch page is a U.K. and European standard.
Device Mode Softkey
The device mode softkey selects whether the hardcopy goes to a printer or
plotter. Plotters must speak the Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language
(HP GL), and printers must speak Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language
(HP PCL). When plot is selected, three additional softkeys are available:
initialize, plot, and pen.
Initialize When off, the plotter is not initialized. Off allows you to
setup the plotter so that the hardcopy from the oscilloscope is plotted to
a specific area of the paper installed in the plotter. When on, the plotter
is initialized. On is like sending the IN command over the bus to the
plotter.
The manual for your plotter for information on setting up the plotter, and for
information on what the IN command initializes on the plotter.
