When using a USB hub, is it being used
correctly?
In the USB specification, daisy-chains of up to five
USB hubs are possible. However, we recommend
that you connect the printer to the first hub
connected directly to the computer. Depending on
the hub you are using, the operation of the printer
may become unstable. If this should occur, plug the
USB cable directly into your computer's USB port.
