The PanelView Plus 6 platform supports selected USB printers such as Canon,
Epson, Hewlett-Packard, and Brother. Automatic printer installation using plug-
and-play capabilities is supported as well as manual installation if a suitable
printer driver is available. You can connect a printer to either USB host port on
the terminal.

Printers are configured and managed from the Printers applet in the desktop
control panel. A wizard is supported for each printer type.
After configuring a printer, you can access it from desktop applications and from
FactoryTalk View ME Station in the Terminal Settings>Print Setup dialog.
Applications can also select and share printers.

without requiring you to make any selections.
The printer is ready to print.
