Autel scan tools cannot sent files directly to a wireless printer.
Instead, you need to install software onto a computer which the scan tool will use as a gateway to print.
Installing the MaxiSys software suite from the Autel
The drivers for the Autel J2534
and PC Link for wireless printing are included in the MaxiSys software suite.

Troubleshooting Print setup
Is the Autel unit on the same wireless network as the Computer with the install software?
Verify the MaxiSys software suite is running? The easiest way to check
the system tray at the bottom right on the task bar for the Maxisys
Printer Icon.
It is supposed to auto run on start up but some
antivirus programs and security settings will prevent this. If the
program is not running, start it and try to print again.
Is there a current, working version of Adobe Acrobat on the computer with the Autel PC-Link software?
If this is the first time trying to print and the Autel is failing to
find a computer with installed PC-Link software, restart both the PC and
Autel and try again.
If you are still unable to connect to any
computers for printing, you may need to contact your local IT tech to
ensure your tablet and PC are connected and there is nothing blocking
the connection
Printing from the Autel MaxiSys

After tapping the print option, you should see the "Creating print file" dialog box.

The "Upload file to the printer" dialog box should appear for several seconds, and will disappear when the file is transfer to the computer.
