88. Notes on HP Printer
Weintek HMI (i, iE, XE, eMT, mTV Series) support HP Printer PCL 5 protocol and PostScript 3 printer control language.
Here are some notes on choosing HP printer:
1. Choose a printer that supports PCL5 or later versions. This type of printers should support PCL 5 protocol because PCL language is backward compatible.
2. Choose a printer that does not require additional driver plug-in. On HPLIP website: (http://hplipopensource.com) you can find the detailed information about HP printers. Find “Other Information” and see the Description column. If it shows “None”, the printer might work with HMI. If it shows information other than “none”, the printer will not work with HMI.
3. When using an HMI with Ethernet, please use EasyPrinter to send the image to PC for printing. EasyPrinter working as a printer server, HMI’s print jobs can be sent to EasyPrinter via Ethernet and be printed by a printer supported by the PC.
