72 Printer Connection and Software Installation
Connecting Printer to Computer or Network
Connect the printer via USB, Ethernet or wireless (optional). A USB connection is a direct connection and is not
used for networking. Ethernet and wireless connections are used for networking. Hardware and cabling
requirements vary for the different connection methods. Ethernet cable and hardware are generally not included with
your printer and must be purchased separately.
The available features for each connection type are shown in the following table.
USB Connection

instead of your computer, skip this section and go to "Wired Network Connection" on page 73.
