This guide provides a detailed walkthrough for setting up printing functionality on your Autel Maxisys MS906 and other compatible Autel MaxiSYS diagnostic scanners. We’ll cover the necessary steps, troubleshooting common printing problems, and offer solutions to ensure a seamless printing experience. This setup applies to various Autel tablets, including the Maxisys Ultra, Elite II, MS906BT, and more.
Connecting Your Autel Maxisys to a Printer
Before you begin, ensure your Autel scanner, printer, and computer are all connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This shared connection is crucial for successful printing. If you have an older version of the PC Link printer software, uninstall it before installing the latest MaxiPC Suite.
