Setting Up the Printer the First Time
Connect the Printer and Computer
1. Make sure the printer is unplugged and your computer is
turned off.
2. Connect the square end of the USB cable to your
printer’s USB port.
3. Connect the flat end of the cable to your
computer’s USB port or a first tier USB hub port.
If you’re using a USB hub, connect the printer to the first
tier of the hub. If the printer doesn’t work there, connect it
directly to a USB port on your computer.
Turn On Your Computer
Turn on your computer first and wait until you see your
desktop icons. (With Windows 2000, log on as necessary.)
Load Paper
Set paper carefully in the slot in the top of the printer; don’t
push it deeper into the slot. Slide the left edge guide against
the paper.
Plug In the Printer
Plug the printer’s power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
The printer is now powered on. It moves its print head and
makes some noise.
Don’t use an outlet controlled by a wall switch or timer,
or one on the same circuit as a large appliance, to avoid
damaging the printer’s power supply.
