To Connect the Counter to a Printer via HP-IB

You can connect the Counter to a printer via HP-IB either with or without
a computer. If you connect a computer, you can operate the printer under
program control. In the absence of a computer, the Counter, when in talk-
only, becomes the controller for the printer.

To Select the HP-IB Talk-Only Mode for Printing

Press and hold Recall (Utility) key, then cycle POWER key.
Press Recall (Utility) key until HP-IB: is displayed.
To set the HP-IB to talk-only, press the appropriate arrow keys until
HP-IB: TALK is displayed.
The TALK choice follows 30 and precedes 0 in the set of choices for the
HP-IB menu item.
BE SURE to press the Enter key to complete the numeric entry.
The talk-only operating mode is now stored in non-volatile memory, and
does not change when power has been off or after a remote interface reset.
