CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO YOUR COMPUTER

Connecting a USB cable

Follow the procedure below to connect the machine to your computer.

A USB cable for connecting the machine to your computer is not included with the machine. Please purchase the appropriate cable for your computer.

Caution

•USB is available with a PC/AT compatible computer that was originally equipped with USB and had Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition preinstalled.

•Do not connect the USB cable before installing the MFP driver. The USB cable should be connected during installation of the MFP driver.

Note	• If the machine will be connected using a USB 2.0 port of your
	computer, please purchase a USB cable that supports USB 2.0.

•The machine's USB connector will transfer data at the speed specified by the USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) only if the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is preinstalled in the computer, or if the USB 2.0 driver for Windows 2000 Professional/XP that Microsoft provides through its "Windows Update" Web page is installed.

•To obtain the fastest USB 2.0 data transfer speed, "USB2.0 MODE SWITCH" in the machine's user programs must be set to "HI-SPEED".

For more information, see "USER PROGRAMS" (p.66).

• Use the machine's "HI-SPEED" mode only when using a computer 5 that is running Windows 2000/XP.

•Even when the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver is used, it may not be possible to obtain full USB 2.0 speed if a PC card supporting USB 2.0 is used. To obtain the latest driver (which may enable a higher speed), contact the manufacturer of your PC card.

•Connection is also possible using a USB 1.1 port on your computer. However, the specifications will be USB 1.1 specifications (Full-Speed).

1Insert the cable into the USB connector on the machine.

2 Insert the other end of the cable into your computer's USB port.
