Connecting Printers
The R&S FSH3 can output a screen shot to a printer equipped with an RS232 interface. Use the
Serial/Parallel Converter R&S FSH-Z22 for printers with a parallel interface.
A printer with an RS232 interface can be directly connected using the RS232 optical interface cable
supplied. If the R&S FSH-Z22 is used, its RS232 optical cable is connected to the R&S FSH3’s optical
interface, freeing up the Centronics parallel interface to connect a printer.
