Hardcopy
Reference
3Ć62
To stop and discard the hardcopy being sent, press HARDCOPY again
while
the hardcopy in process message is still on screen.
To add additional hardcopies to the printer spool, press HARDCOPY again
after
the hardcopy in process message is removed from the screen.
You can add hardcopies to the spool until it is full. When the spool is filled by
adding a hardcopy, the message “Hardcopy in Process — Press HARDCOPY
to abort” remains displayed. You can abort the
last
hardcopy sent by pressing
the button while the message is still displayed. When the printer empties
enough of the spool to finish adding the last hardcopy it does so and then
removes the message.
To remove all hardcopies from the spool:
Press SHIFT HARDCOPY MENU ➞ Clear Spool (main) ➞ OK Confirm
Clear Spool (side).
This oscilloscope takes advantage of any unused RAM when spooling hard-
copies to printers. The size of the spool is, therefore, variable. The number of
hardcopies that can be spooled depends on three variables:
H
the amount of unused RAM
H
the hardcopy format chosen
H
the complexity of the display
Although not guaranteed, usually about 2.5 hardcopies can be spooled before
the oscilloscope must wait to send the rest of the third copy.
Date/Time Stamping Your Hardcopy
You can display the current date and time on screen so that they appear on
the hardcopies you print. To date and time stamp your hardcopy:
1. Press DISPLAY ➞ Readout Options (main) ➞ Display Date and Time
(side) to toggle the setting to On.
2. Press Clear Menu to remove the menu from the display so the date and
time can be displayed (see Figure 3-33). (The date and time are removed
from the display when menus are displayed.)
3. Press HARDCOPY to print your date/time stamped hardcopy.
If you need to set the date and time of the oscilloscope:
4. Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ Config (pop-up) ➞ Set Date & Time (main) ➞
Year, Day Month, Hour, or Minute.
