Solving Problems with Printing or Plotting
If you encounter a problem when you are printing or plotting, check the following list for
possible causes:
• Look in the analyzer display message area. The analyzer may show a message that will
identify the problem. Refer to the "Error Messages" chapter of the reference guide if a
message appears.
• If necessary, refer to the peripheral configuration procedures in this chapter to check
that you have done the following:
❏ connected an interface cable between the peripheral and the analyzer
❏ connected the peripheral to ac power
❏ switched on the power
❏ switched the peripheral on line
❏ selected the correct printer or plotter type
• If you are using a laser printer for plotting, and the printer is outputting partial plots,
the printer may require more memory or the page protection activated.
NOTE Consult your printer documentation for information on upgrading memory
and how to activate page protection.
• Make sure that the analyzer address setting for the peripheral corresponds to the
actual GPIB address of the peripheral. The procedure is explained earlier in this
chapter.
• Make sure that the analyzer is in system controller mode, by pressing
, if the analyzer is not connected to an external controller.
Otherwise, the analyzer must be in the pass control mode.
• Substitute the interface cable.
• Substitute a different printer or plotter.
