help you to add a printer; however it is always best to refer to the printer manual for
specific instructions and configuration options.
USB Printer
Most new printers have a USB interface connection. You may use any one of the
ports to connect the printer.
Install Instructions:
1. Set up the printer according to its instr uctions (unp acking, paper tray, toner/ink car-
tridge etc.).
2. Turn ON the computer.
3. Turn ON the printer.
4. Connect the printer’s USB cable to one of the USB ports on the computer.
5. Windows will identify the printer and either load one of its own drivers or ask you
