The tester can print test results and setup information
automatically or on demand (when you press the PRINT key).
This section shows you how to set up the tester to enable
automatic printing or manual printing of test results.
Complete the following:
1. Using the supplied RS-232 cable, connect one end to the
tester and the other end to a printer.
2. Press the MODE this screen is displayed:

“Mode” and “Baud”. “Mode” has two settings:
•Norm: (for manual printing) prints only when you press
the PRINT key.
•Auto: (for automatic printing) prints automatically when
the tester detects an error or alarm condition (bit error,
BPV error, Frame error or CRC error).
Note
If Auto is selected, you can also press the PRINT key to
print results.
“Baud” has four settings: 2.4, 4.8, 9.6, and 19.2.
5. To change the settings for "Mode" and "Baud", do the
following:
a) Press the RESULTS key to select the desired setting
for "Mode".
The setting blinks to indicate that it is selected.
b) Press the SIGNALING TYPE (Tab) key to move to
“Baud”. Then, press the RESULTS key until the
desired setting is displayed.
c) Press the MODE (Done) key to save your selections.
You return to the second page of the setup menu. “Print”
