Connecting a printer
NOTE
You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer.
To determine if the printer is USB-compatible, check its
documentation. If it is USB-compatible, you can connect the
printer while the computer is on.
To make the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,
which may come with your printer. Otherwise, you can
purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
To connect a printer to your computer or the optional
Advanced Port Replicator III:
1
If the computer is on, turn it off.
2
Connect the printer cable to the printer and then connect
the other end to one of the computer's USB ports.
3
Plug the printer's power cable into a live electrical outlet.
Your printer documentation may require you to install the
printer software before physically connecting the printer to
your computer. If you do not install the software as instructed
by the printer manufacturer, the printer may not function
correctly.
Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow
the manufacturer's instructions when connecting a local
printer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Some printers require a specific
installation process. Refer to your printer installation guide for
instructions.
