2. ··Turn the analyzer and printer off.
3. ··Plug one end of the Model 720A Printer Interface directly into the

printer via a standard parallel printer cable.
5. ··Turn the printer on first.

lyzer is not compatible with printers that use a serial interface.
Printing to Virtual Printer Program
Virtual Printer (Virprint) is a Windows program that emulates the physical
connection to a printer. Previously, the Model 720A printer interface was
required to print from an UltraSpec analyzer. Virprint allows printing on
any printer supported by Microsoft Windows operating system.
