4.8 Setting Automatic Printing
108
Data can be printed automatically when you use the optional printer (auto print).
The operation differs depending on the function (high speed/real time).
See: "Recording Methods (Measurement Functions)" (p. 68)
To print automatically, you need to set the printer settings in advance.
For how to connect the printer and load the recording paper, refer to "2.4 Connect-
ing Printer and Loading Recording Paper (Options)" (p. 41).
4.8 Setting Automatic Printing
Sampling is performed at high speed so
the data is first stored in the internal buffer
memory.
The data stored in the internal buffer
memory is printed with the printer auto-
matically after measurement ends.
Set the [Auto print] item on the [Print]
setting screen.
Sampling is performed at low speed so
the data can be printed with the printer
during sampling
(*1)
.
Set the [Realtime print] item on the
[Print] setting screen.
(*1): If a horizontal axis that is faster than
1 s/div is set, printing cannot be per-
formed at the same time as sampling.
High-speed Function
(Auto print)
Real-time Function
(Real-time print)
• In the case of real-time printing with the Real-time Function, if the
[Interval] setting is slower than 1/100 of the [Time/div] setting, paper
is fed every 1 division.
Example: Recording interval of 200 ms and horizontal axis of 1 s/div
The recording interval is 1/5 of the horizontal axis (= 200 ms ÷ 1 s), so
paper is fed every 1 division.
• When printing is performed automatically using cursors A and B, the
operation differs depending on the measurement function.
• High-speed Function:
You can set the print range with cursors A and B (print part of the data).
However, cursors A and B cannot be moved if the measurement data is not
displayed on the screen.
• Real-time Function:
When printing in real time (Real-time Function), the entire waveform is
printed regardless of the cursor positions. The print range cannot be
selected.
• The printer cannot be used with alkaline dry cell batteries. When print-
ing, use the Z1002 AC Adapter or Z1000 Battery Pack.
