Connecting a printer
Your printer documentation may require you to install the printer 
software before physically connecting the printer to your computer. If 
you do not install the software as instructed by the printer 
manufacturer, the printer may not function correctly.
Read the documentation that came with your printer. Follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions when connecting a printer.
You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer 
through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is 
USB-compatible, check its documentation. 
To make the connection, you need a suitable USB cable which may 
come with your printer. If a USB cable was not included with your 
printer, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
If your printer supports Plug and Play, your computer may 
automatically recognize the printer; the printer is then ready for use. 
Refer to your printer documentation for further instructions.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To determine if your printer supports Plug and 
Play, check its documentation.
If your printer does not support Plug and Play, you can set up the 
printer as described in “Setting up a printer” in the electronic user’s 
guide.
To connect a printer to your computer:
1
Connect the printer cable to the printer and then connect the 
other end to one of the computer’s USB ports.
2
Plug the printer’s power cable into a live AC outlet.
See your printer documentation for additional configuration steps, 
or see “Setting up a printer” in the electronic user’s guide.
Adding memory (optional)
Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of today’s 
popular applications. You may want to increase the computer’s 
memory if you use complex software or process large amounts of 
data.
