Color and Gray-Scale Printing. You can print a color hard copy that
uses the display colors. Gray-scale waveform information is p rinted as
shades of color. If you have a Deskjet or Laserjet monochrome printer,
gray-scale waveform information is printed as a dithered im age.
Ink S aver and Preview. As an alternative to printing the display colors,
turn on the Ink Saver function to print a hard copy with a white
background. This function saves printer in k while it preserves the color
coding of the waveforms and readouts, except for channel 1. Because
yellow ink is hard to see on white paper, Ink Saver prints ch annel 1
using a dark blue ink. Ink saver also works with the monochrome print
formats.
Push and hold the Preview s creen button to show how the colors will
appear on the paper.
Clear Spool. You can push the Clear Spool screen button to e mpty the
print spooler to stop a hard copy operation in prog ress, if the hard copy
