What printers would you recommend using with a Maple Systems HMI?
While there are many printers that would work with our HMIs, we have tested the Office Jet Pro 8100, LaserJet MFP M227fdw, and LaserJet Pro M203dw. In addition, the cMT Series uses CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), and provides over 850 PPD (Postscript Printer Description) files for various HP printers.

How do I center the text for a Word Lamp?
Open the properties window in EBPro for the Word Lamp and click on the “Label” tab. At the bottom, just below the Content box, check the “Tracking” option. This will cause the labels for all the states to “track” or follow the position of the first label (state 0). Close the properties window and open…
Can I set my HMC (HMI + PLC) to act as a Modbus Master and/or a Modbus Slave.
Yes, Maple Systems HMCs (HMI + PLC) can be configured to act as a Modbus Master and/or a Modbus Slave. For step-by-step instructions on how to set up this communication and use tags in your project refer to Tech Note 7016, “Modbus Communications in MAPware-7000”.

What is Data Mining (DM)?
The process of analyzing large collections of data to generate insights or define patterns that will improve the understanding of the system the data came from.
What are the various storage media options available on Maple Systems HMI and cMT series products?
Maple Systems HMI and cMT series products have the capability for additional data storage via storage media plugged into a USB Host port or SD card socket. Supported are USB Flash Drives, SD Cards, and USB Hubs depending on the model. Check product data sheets for more information.
What is an Ethernet used for?
Ethernet is a family of computer networking technologies commonly used in local area networks (LAN), and wide area networks (WAN). It was commercially introduced in 1980 and first standardized in 1983 as IEEE 802.3, and has since been refined to support higher bit rates and longer link distances. Over time, Ethernet has largely replaced competing…
How many Data Sampling objects can I have in my project?
For Standard and Advanced HMIs with the prefix of “HMI“, you can have up to 256 Data Sampling objects. For the cMT HMIs, you can have up to 40 Data Sampling objects. Each Data Sampling object can have up to 1000 records (data sampling points).
