Connecting the Printer to Your Computer
„Notes about connection
In using the USB cable, be sure to conn ect the printer directly to your 
computer.
If you connect the USB cable via a USB hub, the printer may not function properly.
Do not use other USB devices  (with the exception of a USB mouse or 
keyboard)  with the printer. The printer may not function properly.
Disconnect the other USB devices from your computer and then reconnect the 
printer.
Do not connect two or more direct print compatible printers (all CP series 
printers) to the same computer.
The printers may not function properly.
When connecting the printer to your computer, we recommend that you 
connect it to the same USB port you used to install the printer driver.
If you connect the printer to a different USB port, Windows may create a copy of 
the printer driver. This depends on your Windows version and the printer driver, 
and does not affect the operation of the printer.
To delete a copy of the printer driver, proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from your computer.
2. Delete the copy of the printer driver as follows (do not use the uninstaller.) (1) For Windows 98/Me/2000, click the [Start] button and select [Settings], and
[Printers].
For Windows XP, click the [Start] button and select [Control Panel], [Printers
and Other Hardware], and [Printers and Faxes].
(2) Right-click the copy of the printer driver and then select [Delete] on the short- cut menu.
3. Restart your computer. Connect the printer to the USB port you used to install
the printer driver.
• Do not put your computer into the standby mode (or sleep mode) while the printer 
is connected to a USB port.
• If you accidentally do so, do not disconnect the USB cable from your computer  while it is in the standby mode; instead, leaving the USB cable connected, first 
return your computer to its normal mode. If you remove the USB cable while your 
computer is in the standby mode, your computer may not be able to return to its 
normal mode. For details on your computer’s standby mode, refer to the 
documentation provided with your computer.
