USB Interface Requirements

Universal Serial Bus (version 2.0 compliant) provides a fast interface that is compatible with

your existing PC hardware. USB’s “plug and play” design makes installation easy. Multiple

printers can share a single USB port/hub.

When using a USB cable (not supplied with your printer), verify that the cable or cable

packaging bears the “Certified USB™” mark (see below) to guarantee USB 2.0 compliance.
