Connecting to a Computer

This section describes how to connect the printer to a computer.
As this printer is equipped with a USB connector, you can use a USB cable to
connect to a computer. By installing an optional network board, the printer can be
connected directly to the network using a LAN cable.

Using a USB Cable

Connect the printer with a USB cable to the computer in which a USB port is
equipped.
WARNING
When unplugging the USB cable when the power is turned ON, do not touch the
metal part of the connector, as this may result in electrical shock.
IMPORTANT
•
You can connect or disconnect the USB cable even while the power of the computer or
printer is ON. However, do not connect or disconnect the USB cable in the following
situations, as this may result in a computer or printer error:
- While the computer operating system (Windows) is starting up immediately after the
computer is turned on
- While printing
•
If you connect or disconnect the USB cable while the power of the computer and printer
are turned ON, after disconnecting the USB cable, wait for 5 seconds or longer before
connecting it again. If you connect the USB cable immediately after disconnecting it, this
may result in a computer or printer error.
•
This printer performs two-way communication while printing. If the printer is connected
with a print server, a USB-hub switching device or others that require one-way
communication, it may result in printer error.
