2 | Getting Started |
| Connecting the Printer to Your Computer |
| You can use the HP DeskJet 340 printer with a PC or a Macintosh |
| computer. |
| You need to make sure, however, that you have the correct printer |
| cable for your computer. |
| Use a parallel printer cable (the |
| cable is not supplied with the |
| printer) to connect the printer to |
| a PC. |
| Connect one end of the printer |
| cable to the port on the side of |
| the printer and the other end to |
| the printer port of your PC. |
| You must use the special Mac |
| Adapter cable to connect the HP |
| DeskJet 340 printer to your |
| Macintosh computer. |
| If the cable has not been |
| packaged with your printer, you |
| must purchase one from |
| |
| reseller (see “Supplies and |
| Accessories,” for part numbers). |
| Connect one end of the Mac Adapter cable to the printer and the |
| other end to either a modem or printer port on the computer. |
| Note |
| You cannot connect the printer to an AppleTalk network. |
