Connecting the printer to your computer
Using a USB cable
If you are connecting your printer to a PC with a USB 
(Universal Serial Bus) cable, we recommend Lexmark 
part number 12A2405 (2 m). If you use something other 
than this cable, you may not be able to use all of your 
printer’s functions.

off.

Connect the USB cable to the port on the back of 
your computer.

Connect the other end of the cable to the USB 
port on the back of your printer.

Turn on your computer and your printer.
