Disclaimer
This document is rebuilt from scanned JPEG pages of the
HP original manual (freely available on Internet), using an
OCR program and manually reformatting its output (and
retyping some parts !). The result may thus differ from
original book in either format or content : even if I did it
with the best attention, some errors (OCR miss-recognition,
typing, formatting, …) could occur in this manual process.
Any remarks/errors discover are welcome.
I make no warranty
as to the accuracy or completeness of this document and
hereby disclaim any responsibility therefore.
This document is not reviewed; neither approved by Hewlett-Packard Company.

Note :
The fee I ask is for the reformatting work of a publicly available document (on Internet in JPEG format).
I’ve done this because the original manual is not available anymore form HP, and more difficult to find than
the HP-IL module itself. I did this for myself first, and propose it as a “S ervi ce” .
This manual and any part of it m ay not be copied, resold or tr ansferred, either in electronic
or paper format. The license is gr anted to the “Service” buyer for its personal use only.
