Getting Started
Connecting a printer
If your printer supports Plug and Play, your computer may
automatically recognize the printer; the printer is then ready for use.
Refer to your printer documentation for further instructions.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To determine if your printer supports Plug and
Play, check its documentation.
If your printer does not support Plug and Play, you can set up the
printer as described in “Setting up a printer” on page 76.
To connect a printer to your computer:
1 Connect the printer cable to the printer and then connect the
other end to one of the computer’s USB ports.
2 Plug the printer’s power cable into a live AC outlet.
