CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect a communication port, a teleport, or any other connector during a lightning storm.

The printer can be attached to a network or directly to a computer to print locally.

Attaching a local cable

USB cable

Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on the printer.

You can attach your printer locally using either a USB or parallel connection.

A USB port is standard on most base models.

Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP operating systems support USB connections. Some UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh computers also support USB connections. Refer to your computer operating system documentation to see if your system supports USB.

To attach the printer to a computer:

1 Connect the printer to the computer using a USB or parallel cable.

A USB port requires a USB cable such as Lexmark part number 12A2405 (2 m [6.5 ft]). Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on the printer.

2 Plug one end of the printer power cord into the socket at the back of the printer and the other end into a properly grounded outlet.

3 Turn on your printer.

After the printer completes its internal tests, the Ready message indicates that the printer is ready to receive jobs.
