Frequently Asked Questions About USB

Using Your Printer with a USB Cable

QWhat is USB?

A

Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to your computer without having to open the PC. USB uses a standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers the benefit of being able to add, remove, and move devices.

Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option to customers who want to print from Windows 98 across the USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and properly setup, you can connect your printer via a USB cable.

QCan other users on my USB chain print to my ML-1200 Series printer on the USB chain?

AYes. Windows 98 allows you to “share” your printer using software settings on your computer. After others on the USB chain have installed the printer software for your specific printer, they can print to your shared printer.

QAfter I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1200 Series printer

QHow can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?

A1 In Windows 98, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.

2Double-click the System icon.

3Click the Device Manager tab.

4Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus Controller item.

If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, then the USB is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain, try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB device. Also, insure the cable connections are firm. (USB hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB cables.)

If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for more information on enabling and setting up the USB. Remember, you can also use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port to your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable connection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printer software. )

assigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of my software application?

AUSB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After the printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printer name) instead of LPT.

QHow can I increase printing speed and quality?

AWhen operated on a USB chain, your printer may print slower if other USB devices are being used while you’re printing. For optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in the USB chain while printing.
