To connect your unit to a PC, you will need to purchase a printer cable that matches the interface connector on your PC:
•A Centronics®
•A USB cable no longer than 5 metres
You can purchase either of these cables from your local authorised Canon dealer.
Follow this procedure to connect the appropriate cable:
Setting Up
■Connecting a USB Cable Connect the USB cable to the unit and PC during software installation to ensure proper operation of
the printer driver.

■Connecting a Parallel Cable Connect the parallel cable to your unit and PC. Be sure to secure the cable connectors with the wire clips.

You only need to connect one of the above cables.
If using a USB cable, make sure your PC is running Microsoft Windows® 98/Me or Windows® 2000, preinstalled by a computer manufacturer on purchase. (The USB port operation also needs to be assured by the manufacturer.)
