PREPARE PRINTER
PRESS ENTER
Figure III-20
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 ESC key at this screen returns the display to that of Figure III-19.
Note: No handshaking with the printer is performed (i.e., the instrument simply sends
the data, assuming the printer is ready to accept it).
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 (Figure III-6).
After printing is complete, the screen returns to the display shown in Figure III-19.
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
