Attaching a cable
NOTE: Before you connect your printer to your computer, you must first complete the
Microsoft® Windows® operating system setup. Refer to the documentation that came with your
computer for instructions.
You can attach your printer using either a USB or parallel cable, but do not use both.
• A USB port requires a USB cable. Be sure to match the USB symbol on the cable to the
USB symbol on the printer.
• A parallel port requires an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable.
CAUTION: Ensure that the printer, computer, and any attached devices are
turned off and disconnected from electrical outlets before you connect your
printer to your computer.
To attach the printer to a computer:
1 Connect the printer to the computer using a USB or parallel cable.
If you are using a USB cable, plug the printer into a USB port on the back of the
computer, not the USB keyboard.
