To connect the printer to a computer:
1 Ensure that the printer, computer, and any other attached devices are turned off and unplugged from the power
source/outlet.
2 Connect the smaller USB connector into the USB port at the back of the printer.
3 Connect the other end of the cable into a USB port of your computer.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the printer USB cable to the USB port available on the keyboard.
