How to install card reader on HP printers

  1. Locate an available USB Type-A port on the back of the printer or on the side of the printer's touchscreen control panel.
  2. Connect the card reader to the USB Type-A port.

    • On the Printer properties page, Card reader reader should show Vendor and Created for the installed card reader. If it does not, a restart of the printer may be required.

    • If the Sign in method in the Printix Go configuration is Select automatically, it should map to Card if a card reader is connected to the printer. Otherwise, it maps to ID code. Mapping changes within 10 seconds after the card reader is either connected or disconnected. If it does not change, a restart of the printer may be required.

    • If Printix Go is not yet installed, the HP printer may say: USB error.
