4. Plug the other end of the cable into the computer’s parallel 
interface port. (If there is a ground wire at the end of the 
cable, attach it to the ground connector at the back of the 
computer.)
Using the USB interface
To connect the printer to a USB port, you need a standard, 
shielded USB cable.
Note:
Your computer must be a Windows Me, 98, or 2000 pre-installed 
model that is equipped with a USB port. If you use a USB hub, it is 
recommended that you connect the printer to the first tier of the hub or 
connect the printer directly to the computer’s USB port.
Follow these steps to connect the printer to your computer using 
the printer’s built-in USB interface:
1. Make sure both the printer and computer are turned off.
2. Plug the appropriate end of the cable into the USB port on 
the back of the printer. 
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the computer’s USB 
port.
