The figure below illustrates how to connect a printer to the HMI device. The HMI device
supports the following printer standards:
• compatible with ESC/P, 9-pin ESC/P or ESC/P2 (EPSON)
e.g. EPSON LQ 300+
• compatible with PCL3 (Hewlett Packard)
e.g. Brother HL 1450
USB printers can still be used for PCL and Epson9 modes.

Notice
Connecting a USB distributor (USB hub) to the HMI device's USB interface can cause a
restriction in the functionality of the connected USB devices and the HMI device.
Therefore, the simultaneous or alternating operation of USB devices connected via a USB
hub on the HMI device's USB interface is not approved.
This applies to USB hubs both with and without an internal power supply.
