Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. However, a
USB connection is not as fast as an Ethernet connection. To use USB, PC users must have
Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 or newer. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3
and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your
printer and must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB (1.x or
2.0) cable for your connection.
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.

Connecting via Parallel
A Parallel cable connection can also be used for connecting to one computer. This type of
connection provides the slowest data speeds. Parallel connection requires a standard-to-high
density Parallel printer cable, (36-pin high-density 1284-C [male] to 36-pin low density
1284-B [male] cable), with a maximum length of three meters (10 feet). Connect the Parallel
cable to the printer and the computer while they are both Off, and then turn them On. Install
the printer driver from the Software and Documentation CD, and select the appropriate LPT
Parallel port.
