USB Installation
Use the USB cable only if your computer is running Windows 98 or Windows 2000 and has a USB port.
If your computer is not properly configured to use USB, use a parallel cable to connect your computer to the
printer.
To connect the parallel cable to your printer, locate the slider on the back of the printer, move it to the right so
that it covers the USB port, and connect the parallel cable to the printer’s parallel port.
Note: The slider on the back of the printer allows you to choose either a parallel cable or USB cable
connection.
