USB Connection

This is for a printer connected using a USB cable.

Please note that a USB connection requires a separate Windows-based driver, which is included with the printer.

    For information on how to install the Windows-based driver, refer to the instruction manual for the printer you're using.
  2. Make sure the power to the printer is switched on.
