Direct connection
You can use a USB cable to connect the all-in-one to a Windows computer if the computer has
a USB port and is running Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP.
If your computer does not meet these specifications, connect the all-in-one to your computer
with a parallel cable.
Note Do not connect a USB cable and a parallel cable to the all-in-one at the same time during
installation.
It is strongly recommended that you install the software before you connect the all-in-one to
the computer. Connect the USB or parallel cable only when the installation program prompts
you. This helps to ensure that all of the software components are correctly installed.
In most cases, after you install the all-in-one software and connect a printer to the computer,
you can install additional printers with USB cables without reinstalling the all-in-one software.
To install the software before the hardware (strongly recommended)
Follow this setup procedure if you have not yet connected a USB or parallel cable. This is the
preferred method.
Note If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you must have administrator privileges to
install a printer driver.
