To make your hardcopies, use the procedures that follow.
Connect to a Hardcopy Device. To connect a controller with two ports between the
oscilloscope and the hardcopy device, connect from the oscilloscope GPIB
connector (rear panel) to the controller GPIB port and from the controller
RS-232 or Centronics port to the hardcopy device. (See Figure 3–84.) Use the
GPIB port to remotely request and receive a hardcopy from the oscilloscope
. Use
the RS-232 or the Centronics port on the controller to print output.

Print. If your controller is PC-compatible and it uses the Tektronix GURU or
S3FG210 (National Instruments GPIB-PCII/IIA) GPIB package, do the
following steps to print a hardcopy:
1. Use the MS-DOS cd command to move to the directory that holds the
software that came with your GPIB board. For example, if you installed the
software in the GPIB-PC directory, type: cd GPIB–PC.
2. Run the IBIC program that came with your GPIB board. Type: IBIC.
3. Type: IBFIND DEV1 where “DEV1” is the name for the oscilloscope you
defined using the IBCONF.EXE program that came with the GPIB board.
