Hardware troubleshooting

Check that the printer is turned on.

Verify that the USB cable is connected correctly.

Check that you are using the appropriate high-speed USB
cable.

Ensure that you do not have too many USB devices
drawing power from the chain. Disconnect all of the
devices from the chain, and connect the cable directly to
the USB port on the host computer.

Check to see if more than two nonpowered USB hubs are
connected in a row on the chain. Disconnect all of the
devices from the chain and connect the cable directly to
the USB port on the host computer.

NOTE:

The iMac keyboard is a nonpowered USB hub.
