Some functions may not be available depending on how the Printer Code/Manufacturer options are
configured.
• Color printing is not supported when PCL is selected. Pages are not ejected on HP printers if printing is
canceled after starting it with the Print Button or print command. Eject the page using the printer
controls before continuing. Otherwise, printing will resume from where it was canceled.
• If SII is selected, print color is always set to monochrome even if Print Color is set to Color or Gray
Scale.
• If ESC/P is selected, a 24-pin dot matrix printer can be used. 9-pin dot matrix printers are not
supported. ESC/P2 and ESC/Page control codes are also supported.
• If PictBridge is selected, use a PictBridge printer that supports A4 or Letter paper sizes.
When the edge of the data is not printed, enable No Trimming and Bordered in the printer's settings.
The color cannot be configured. To print in monochrome, configure the print color on the printer that is
used.
• When connecting the HG2G-5F, HG3G/4G to a printer, an error may occur on the printer side as an
unsupported device, but data is sent that satisfies the PictBridge standard when printing, so it can be
printed correctly.
