*. Differences in printing operation according to function:
Memory Function
The time when printing starts after data acquisition differs according to the time-
base setting.
Printing starts at the same time as waveform display if Roll Mode is enabled and
you are using the internal printer.
(Settings: Roll Mode(⇒ p. 99): [On] or [Auto], Output Destination: [Printer])
Recorder Function
Printing starts at the same time as waveform display (Real-Time Print).
However, in the following cases, printing lags data acquisition.
• When the timebase is set faster than 500 ms/div (or faster than 2 s/div with
numerical printing on the Model 8995-01 A6 Printer Unit)
• When the timebase is set faster than 2 s/div while using the Model 9684 DC
Power Unit
Printing is not available when [Cont] is selected for the recording length in the
above cases.
FFT Function
Printing is possible when FFT calculations are finished. However, when averag-
ing is enabled, printing is possible only after the specified count to be averaged
has been measured.
