Choosing a Connection Method
4-4
Network Connection
Depending on your particular setup, the following hardware and cabling are required for Ethernet.
â– If you are connecting to one computer, an Ethernet RJ-45 crossover cable is required.
â– If you are connecting to one or more computers with an Ethernet hub, or cable or DSL router, two or
more twisted-pair (category 5/RJ-45) cables are required. (One cable for each device.)
If you are connecting to one or more computers with a hub, connect the computer to the hub with one
cable, and then connect the printer to the hub with the second cable. Connect to any port on the hub except
the uplink port.

Connecting via USB
If you are connecting to one computer, a USB connection offers fast data speeds. To use USB, PC users
must have Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows XP x 64 bit, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server
2003 x 64 bit, Windows Vista, Windows Vista x 64 bit, Windows Server 2008, or a newer operating
system. Macintosh users must use Mac OS X, version 10.3.9 and higher.
USB Connection
A USB connection requires a standard A/B USB cable. This cable is not included with your printer and
must be purchased separately. Verify that you are using the correct USB cable for your connection (2.0 for
best results).
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the printer and turn it on.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the computer.
