Connecting to Your System
You can use USB and/or Ethernet network connections.
For USB connection, make sure your system has the appropriate port and 
you have a standard, shielded cable 10 feet (6 m) long or less.

cable. To connect directly to your computer’s network interface, you need 
an RJ-45 CAT-5 crossover cable.
1. Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.
Caution: Charging takes 
about 15 minutes. Never 
turn off the printer, 
remove the maintenance 
tank, or open the front 
cover or ink covers while 
the 
PPower light is 
flashing, or you may 
damage the printer.
