CF-4200 Frequently Asked Questions

Question number FAQ-0276

How to print out display data from a CF-4210/CF-4210A/CF-4210Z using a DPU-414 printer.

To print out the image displayed on the screen, you can use the DPU-414 printer. You can also print out the comparator results screen. The DPU-414 printer is the successor to the RQ-110 printer. In the instruction manual, under "3.12 Recording with Plotter/Printer," select RQ-110 (NORMAL). Printing takes approximately 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Note that the CF-0460 comparator and RS-232C card option must be installed.

Please use the RS-232C cable in one of the following four ways.
