Installing USB Driver Frequently Asked Questions About USB QWhat is USB? A Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move devices. Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option to customers who want to print from Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Macintosh using a USB cable. If your computer's USB port is enabled and properly setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chain of USB devices via a USB cable. QHow can I determine if my computer's USB port is enabled? A 1 In Windows 98/Me, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel. 2 Double-click the System icon. 3 Click the Device Manager tab. 4 Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus Controller item. If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain, try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB cables.) If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for more information on enabling and setting up USB.

Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to
your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers
the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move
devices.
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended
using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option
to customers who want to print from Windows 98/Me/2000/XP,
Macintosh using a USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is
enabled and properly setup, you can connect your printer to it
or to a chain of USB devices via a USB cable.
1
In Windows 98/Me, select
Start
Settings
Control Panel
.
2
Double-click the
System
icon.
3
Click the
Device Manager
tab.
4
Click the plus (+) icon before the
Universal Serial Bus
Controller
item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB is
properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain, try
connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB
device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB hubs
are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB
cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more information
on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you can always use a
parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port to your
computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable connection,
you may need to remove and reinstall the printer software. )
