Connecting a Printer
A printer can be connected while the instrument is running.
The R&S ESCI allows two different printer configurations for printing a hardcopy to be created plus
switchover between these two configurations. The DEVICES table in the HCOPY menu shows the
available selection of installed printers (see section 4.4 "Documentation of Measurement Results").
The interfaces for connecting printers are on the rear panel:
LPT
USB
Chapter 8 contains the interface description for the connectors.
Selecting a Printer
Before a hardcopy can be printed, the printer has to be selected from the "HCOPY" menu.
In the following example, an HP DeskJet 660C printer that was preinstalled for LPT1 is selected as
DEVICE2 for hardcopies of the screen content.
