Ok, but for screen hardcopy, the question is how the image on the screen is read out so it
can be fed to the printer. For the Tek storage tube case, that presumably is done by
scanning the screen with the beam, which will produce the stored image in the same way as
a TV camera tube works. But how would you do that in a plasma panel?

Yes, I had a bunch of Versatec
1200A's with the Tektronix hard copy feature. the Versatec was the greatest graphics
printer until laser printers came out, then they became instant boat anchors. Here's
the process.
... And, with the Tek hardcopy board, it could hardcopy a Tek storage tube terminal in
less than 30 seconds.
