Hardcopy
Reference
3Ć60
To stop and discard the hardcopy being sent, press HARDCOPY again
while the hardcopy in process message is still on screen.
To add additional hardcopies to the printer spool, press HARDCOPY again
after the hardcopy in process message is removed from the screen.
You can add hardcopies to the spool until it is full. When the spool is filled by
adding a hardcopy, the message Hardcopy in Process Ċ Press HARDCOĆ
PY to abort" remains displayed. You can abort the last hardcopy sent by
pressing the button while the message is still displayed. When the printer
empties enough of the spool to finish adding the last hardcopy it does so
and then removes the message.
To remove all hardcopies from the spool:
Press SHIFT HARDCOPY MENU Clear Spool (main) OK Confirm
Clear Spool (side).
This oscilloscope takes advantage of any unused RAM when spooling
hardcopies to printers. The size of the spool is, therefore, variable. The
number of hardcopies that can be spooled depends on three variables:
H the amount of unused RAM
H the hardcopy format chosen
H the complexity of the display
Although not guaranteed, usually about 2.5 hardcopies can be spooled
before the oscilloscope must wait to send the rest of the third copy.

You can display the current date and time on screen so that they appear on
the hardcopies you print. To date and time stamp your hardcopy:
