Printing

Since the WaveSurfer MXs-B oscilloscope runs on a WindowsXP platform,
you can connect any WindowsXP compatible printer to the oscilloscope,
following standard Windows setup routines for installing a new printer.

Reference the chapter on Print Management for more detailed
information. In addition, there is information on setting the front panel
Print button in the chapter Saving and Recalling Signals section Printing
the Screen Image to a Printer.

Print Management

The instrument gives you the ability to output files to a printer or plotter,
to print to file, or to e-mail your files. Any Windows XP supported printer is
supported by your instrument.

Setting Up the Printer

1. Touch FilePrint Setup... from the menu bar. The Utilities Hardcopy

dialog opens.

In the dialog area, touch the Printer icon.

Under Colors, touch the Use Print Colors checkbox if you want the
traces printed on a white background. A white background saves
printer toner. Change the printer colors in the Preference dialog.

Touch inside the Select Printer field. From the touch pad pop-up
choose the printer you want to print to. Touch the Properties button to
see your printer setup.

Touch the icon for the layout Orientation you want: portrait or
landscape.

Touch the Grid Area Only checkbox if you do not need to print the
dialog area and you only want to show the waveforms and grids.
