Connecting the printer using a USB cable in Windows

Use a USB cable to connect the printer to the computer if the computer
has a USB port and is running Windows 98, Windows Millennium
Edition (Me), Windows 2000, or Windows XP.

If your computer does not meet these specifications, connect the printer
to your computer using a parallel cable.

In most cases, after you install the printer software and connect a
printer to the computer, you can install additional printers with USB
cables without reinstalling the printing software.

Note

It is recommended that you install the software before you connect
the printer to the computer.

Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted by the printer
installation software.

Software-first installation

1

Start Windows and make sure no other Windows applications
are running.

2

automatically.

If the CD menu does not run automatically, click Start, and then
click Run. At the command line box, type the letter of your
computer's CD-ROM drive followed by :\SETUP (for example, type
D:\SETUP).

On the CD menu, click Install Printer Driver.

4

Choose your language, and then click OK.

5

Follow the instructions on the screen.

Click Connected to this computer, and then click Next.

Note

When connecting the printer using a USB cable, you can install only
one of the printer drivers (PCL 5c, PCL 6, or PS) at a time.
