Step 8: Attach cables

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

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

A USB port is standard on all 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.

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.
