Setting Up a Printer

Complete the operating system setup before you connect a printer to the computer.

See the documentation that came with the printer for setup information, including how to:

•

Obtain and install updated drivers.

•

Connect the printer to the computer.

•

Load paper and install the toner or ink cartridge.

Contact the printer manufacturer for technical assistance.

Printer Cable

Your printer may not come with a printer cable, so if you purchase a cable separately, ensure that it
is compatible with your printer. If you purchased a printer cable at the same time you purchased
your computer, the cable may arrive in the computer box.

You can connect USB devices while the computer is turned on.
