If the printer is connected correctly, and is “on line”, but does not print, this indicates that the printer
is not using the X-on/X-off protocol and HKS should be set to “OFF”. Press the

CANCEL

key to

return to the main screen, then:

1) Press the

OPTION

key to display the Options Menu.

2) Press the

NUMBER 6

key to set HSK to OFF.

3) Press the

If the printer still does not print, check all printer connections, power switch and funtion modes.
Be sure the printer is on-line ready to receive data.

Test data may be printed in the following manner:

1) After each step in a Next Speed Set mode or Prog Speed Set mode program when the

print option is set to

= PRINT NEXT/LINE (PRTN).

2) At the conclusion of a data gathering sequence. Before the data gather takes place, the

DV-III is set to STOP PRINTING (PRTO) mode. Press the

OPTION

key. Press

in the

OPTIONS

menu. Press

to set PRTO. Run the test. The data is automatically stored in

the DV-III.

The Options Menu (3 DATA) is used to print the test data.

3) Printed continuously when the print option is set to

= CONTINUOUS PRINT (PRTC).

Data is printed as quickly as possible (approximately one line per second). A sample of
this print mode is shown in
