Direct connection
You can connect the all-in-one directly to your computer with a USB cable or a parallel cable.
When you connect the all-in-one directly, you still have the ability to share the all-in-one with
other computers:
• Windows computers
You can use a simple form of networking, known as locally shared networking, if you
used a parallel cable or USB cable to connect the all-in-one to the computer. Using this
method, you can share the all-in-one with other Windows computers. See
all-in-one on a peer-to-peer network
for more information.
• Macintosh computers
You can also use locally shared networking if you connected the all-in-one to a
Macintosh computer with a USB cable. Using this method, you can share the all-in-one
with other Macintosh computers. See
for more information.
