HARDCopy
Sends a copy of the screen display followed by an EOI, to the port specified by
HARDCopy:PORT. The format and layout of the output is specified with the
HARDCopy:FORMat and HARDCopy:LAYout commands. This command is
equivalent to pressing the front panel HARDCOPY button.
The HARDCopy? query returns format, layout, and port information.
NOTE. This command is NOT IEEE Std 488.2-1987 compatible.

ABOrt
ABOrt terminates the hardcopy output in process.
NOTE. DCL does NOT clear the output queue once a hardcopy is in process. To
abort the hardcopy process, send the HARDCopy ABOrt command. The output
queue can then be cleared using DCL.
CLEARSpool clears the printer output spool.
STARt initiates a screen copy that is sent to the controller where it can be stored
in a file or redirected to a printing device.
NOTE. Use the *WAI command between HARDCopy STARt commands to ensure
that the first hardcopy is complete before initiating another.
HARDCOPY ABORT
stops any hardcopy output that is in process.
