NOTE. When setting the clock, you can set to a time slightly later than the
current time and wait for it to catch up. When current time catches up to the time
you have set, pressing Ok Enter Date/Time (side) synchronizes the set time to
the current time.

To make your hardcopies, use the procedures that follow.
Connect to a Hardcopy Device. To connect the oscilloscope directly to a hardcopy
device, determine which interface and cable the device uses, and connect
accordingly. (See Figure 3–73.)
Some devices, such as the Tektronix HC100 Plotter, use the GPIB interface.
Many printers, such as the Tektronix HC200, use Centronics interfaces. Many
hardcopy devices, including the HC100 and HC200 with option 03, provide
RS-232 support. (Check the documentation for your hardcopy device.)

Print. To print a single hardcopy or send additional hardcopies to the oscilloscope
spool (queue) while waiting for earlier hardcopies to finish printing, press
HARDCOPY.
While the hardcopy is being sent to the printer, the oscilloscope will display the
message “Hardcopy in process — Press HARDCOPY to abort.”
Abort. To stop and discard the hardcopy being sent, press HARDCOPY again
while the hardcopy in process message is still on screen.
Add to the Spool. To add additional hardcopies to the printer spool, press
