Using a USB Cable

NOTE:

Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer

requires a certified USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 2.0

compliant cable that is within 3 m in length.

Make sure that both the printer and the computer are

turned off.

Plug the USB printer cable into the connector on the back of

the printer.

Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your

computer.

See your computer User’s Guide, if you need help.

NOTE:

For using a USB cable, you must be running Windows 98/

Me/2000/XP, or Macintosh with OS 8.6~9.2/10.1~10.3.
