Connecting via USB

If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3 and higher.

USB Connection

A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or 2.0) cable for your connection.

1.Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.

2.Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.
