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.
