Printers
In general, to be compatible with the SPECTRAmax 340PC, a
printer must be able to emulate Epson graphics mode. This may
require changing the dip switch or pin settings on the printer or
insertion of an emulation cartridge. Please check your printer’s
manual to assess compatibility based on this criterion—some
printers will not meet this requirement.
Please contact your local Molecular Devices representative for
information regarding recommended printers.
