Why do I need an installation cable? When setting up the printer on your wireless network, the printer will need to temporarily connect to a computer using the installation cable. This temporary connection is used to set up the wireless settings of the printer. The installation cable connects to a rectangular USB port on the installing computer and the square USB port on the printer. 46
