IV.8.6.2 Printing A Program
Pressing the priNt key with a valid program selected in the Yield Programs Menu (Figure IV-69)
displays the following screen:
#5: Sample Tst
READY PRINTER THEN
PRESS PRINT KEY
Figure IV-82
Pressing the eNter key at this screen causes the selected program information to be sent out the
parallel printer port (located on the rear panel of the instrument).
Pressing the MOtOr ON/OFF/eSC key at this screen returns the display to that of Figure IV-69. If,
after pressing the PRINT key with Figure IV-82 displayed, a printer error is detected (Ex: printer
being off-line), the following screen is displayed:
#5: Sample Tst
PRINTER IS NOT READY
ENSURE PRINTER IS
ONLINE-PRESS ANY KEY
Figure IV-83
Pressing any key at this point returns the display to that of Figure IV-82.
Pressing the eNter key also records the program number being printed so that it will be the first
program shown the next time PRINT TEST is selected from the default screen (see Figure IV-69).
After printing is complete, the screen returns to the display shown in Figure IV-69.
Note: Printing can only be accomplished using the parallel printer port. The
serial port (RS-232) is strictly used for downloading programs and/or
collecting yield data using the accompanying EZ-Yield TM software.
Test programs are printed in the following format:
Program Number/Name: #5/Sample Tst
Operator: Date:
Spindle Number: 71 Multiplier : 002
