To use Hardcopy, the instrument needs to be set appropriately. The setting can be adjusted under "Options" in the
"Utility"-menu. Detailed information about setting the menu can be referred to "NOTES TO USERS".
Hardcopy supports 3 types: BMP, Centronics, Thermal.
BMP
BMP type is enabled only when used to interface with the PC. To use BMP as a Hardcopy, required are additional
programs that enables the PC to receive and save the BMP format. Using PeakTech's Softview will facilitate saving in
the BMP format with ease and convenience. RS232C and USB are both supported, but USB is faster in saving.
Softview operates under Windows 98/2000.
Centronics
Centronics type is needed to send the screen data to a printer directly. Centronics type supports HP's PCL level 3
Deskjet and Laserjet printers in general. Even if the brand differs, if the printer has a mode compatible with the PCL
level 3 or lower, it's possible to use. Most printers support this format. However, printers that provide the PCL format
only through software on PCs and the HP 700 printer series are not supported. Concerning detailed information for
PCL format availability, refer to the printer user's manual or visit the printer maker's homepage
Thermal
Thermal type is enabled only by using SANEI's Printy2 thermal printer that supports RS-232C interface.
