Maybe you can help me with this: Im trying to connect this printer to a Hematology analizer but the analyzer only works with protocol PCL 6, Does this printer be able to connect and print to the analyzer?

 

Thank you!

Hi,

As the Hematology analyzer uses the PCL6 Print Description Language it cannot speak with the M12w printer.

 

The M12w uses the Host-based PDL which is a lighter language and cannot interrupt PCL 6 commands, you may find its Printing Specifications below:

You will need to get  different printer model to meet your analyzer requirements, the M203dw as axample is the cheepest B&W Printer only which uses the PCL 6 printing lanauge, I would check with the store for any possibility to replace the printer:
