Setting Up and Using Your Computer 9

Setting Up and Using Your Computer

Setting Up a Printer

NOTICE: Complete the operating system setup before you connect a printer to the computer.

See the documentation that came with the printer for setup information, including how to:

• Obtain and install updated drivers.

• Connect the printer to the computer.

• Load paper and install the toner or ink cartridge.

• Contact the printer manufacturer for technical assistance.

Printer Cable

Your printer connects to your computer with either a USB cable or a parallel cable. Your printer may not

come with a printer cable, so if you purchase a cable separately, ensure that it is compatible with your

printer. If you purchased a printer cable at the same time you purchased your computer, the cable may

arrive in the computer box.

Connecting a USB Printer

NOTE: You can connect USB devices while the computer is turned on.

Complete the operating system setup if you have not already done so.

Install the printer driver if necessary. See the documentation that came with your printer.

10 Setting Up and Using Your Computer

Attach the USB printer cable to the USB connectors on the computer and the printer. The USB

connectors fit only one way.

Connecting a Parallel Printer

Complete the operating system setup, if you have not already done so.

Turn off the computer (see page 45).

NOTICE: For best results, use a 3-m (10-ft) or shorter parallel cable.

Attach the parallel printer cable to the parallel connector on the computer and tighten the two screws.

Attach the cable to the connector on the printer and snap the two clips into the two notches.
