Focus HMI Printer Settings

In this article, I will talk about printer setup for Focus HMI. I set up for a wireless model printer.

Focus HMI panels system files are write protected. Start Terminal Emulator from the “Applications” menu of your panel in order to write to the system files.

Execute the following command and enter your password.
